How it works
Building permit fees come from Schedule A of the RDCK Building Bylaw No. 2200. The Village of Kaslo's own Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1300 adds a planning report fee.
- Minimum: $100 for a construction value of $1 to $1,000.
- Above $1,000: $10.50 per $1,000 (or part of $1,000) of construction value.
- How value is set: the contract cost or the schedule's rates, whichever is greater. The schedule gives rates per square foot, for example $195 for basic residential, $30 for a detached garage and $25 for an accessory building up to 550 sq ft.
