The permit fee is $100 for construction value of $1 to $1,000. Over $1,000, it is $10.50 per $1,000 or part of $1,000 (the RDCK brochure describes this as on top of a $100 base fee). Value is the contract cost or the RDCK's estimate, whichever is higher. The schedule's per-square-foot values include basic residential $195, detached garage $30 and sundeck $25.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Pay the plan-check deposit with your application. It is non-refundable but credited to the permit fee: $100 for a single-family dwelling, $200 for multi-family, industrial, commercial or institutional, $50 for an accessory building or addition.\n2. Pay the balance when the permit is issued, by cheque, cash, debit card or online.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Other fees: plumbing $10.50 per fixture; demolition $150; moving a building $200; temporary building $200; pool (fence requirements) $100; change of occupancy (commercial only) $200; re-inspection $150; permit renewal $100; occupant load calculation $200.\n- The schedule says the calculated fee is reduced by 10% for municipal permits where the municipality provides inspection administrative service. The pages do not say whether this applies in Nakusp, so ask the RDCK.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.rdck.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Bylaw-No.-2383-2014.pdf","title":"RDCK Building Bylaw No. 2200, Schedule A, Permit Fees (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.rdck.ca/development-community-sustainability-services/building/permit-application/","title":"Permit Application, RDCK","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://rdck.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/2024-03-15-Building_Brochure_03-24.pdf","title":"RDCK Building Brochure, March 2024 (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 6 of 6 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/nakusp/building-permit-fees/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/nakusp/building-permit-fees.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/nakusp/building-permit-fees.json"}}
