An amount collected when plans are submitted may cover a different part of the application than the final permit charge. Construction-value calculation — $10 per $1,000 of construction cost or fraction up to $100,000, then $7 per $1,000 or fraction above $100,000. Minimum $100.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Find the charges for your project in [Apply for a Permit](https://www.pemberton.ca/building-development/building-permits/apply-for-a-permit). Find the line for your project in the fee schedule. Read the column heading, unit of value and any minimum before doing the calculation.\n2. If the project crosses a fee band, check how the schedule treats the first band and the remaining value. Ask how the office determines construction value if your estimate includes several kinds of work.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Minimum charge — $100 minimum per building, pool or pond permit.\n- Use Pemberton’s online permit application.\n- When comparing the amount due with a quote, itemize any plan review, inspection or other charges separately. This makes it easier to ask which payment is credited toward the balance.\n- For a question about the fee schedule and the project value used for the calculation, call the Municipal Hall at 604-894-6135. Give an estimate for the entire proposed scope and distinguish any application charge already paid.\n- Read the applicable provisions in [Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 905, Schedule T (PDF)](https://www.pemberton.ca/public/download/files/322374).","sources":[{"url":"https://www.pemberton.ca/building-development/building-permits/apply-for-a-permit","title":"Apply for a Permit","accessed":"2026-11-09"},{"url":"https://www.pemberton.ca/public/download/files/322374","title":"Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 905, Schedule T (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-09"},{"url":"https://www.pemberton.ca/contact","title":"Pemberton municipal office contact information","accessed":"2026-11-09"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-09","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 4 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 2 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/pemberton/building-permit-fees/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/pemberton/building-permit-fees.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/pemberton/building-permit-fees.json"}}
