## How it works

Start an estimate by identifying the kind of work, its construction value and which stage you are paying for. 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.

## Steps

1. 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.
2. 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.

## Good to know

- Minimum charge — $100 minimum per building, pool or pond permit.
- Use Pemberton’s online permit application.
- 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.
- 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.
- Read the applicable provisions in [Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 905, Schedule T (PDF)](https://www.pemberton.ca/public/download/files/322374).
