Section 1.3 says it prevails over the older fee schedules in Bylaw 392 and Bylaw 464. GST and other taxes are charged unless the schedule says otherwise.\n\n- **Building permit:** $100 plus $7 per $1,000 (or portion) of construction value.\n- **Application fee:** $100, non-refundable, if the value is $50,000 or less; 10% of the building permit fee if the value is over $50,000. It is applied against the permit fee when the permit is issued.\n- **Value for single-family or two-family dwellings:** the Village sets it by floor area. A single storey with an unfinished basement is $3,229.17/m²; a finished basement $1,614.59/m²; a finished 2nd or 3rd storey $2,152.78/m². Decks and sheds are $538.20/m², carports $538.20/m², and garages and shops $861.11/m². Other buildings use the contract price.\n\nOther fees in the schedule:\n\n- Plumbing permit: $50 base plus $10 per fixture\n- Fire sprinkler system: minimum $100 plus $5 per head\n- Demolition: $150\n- Wood-burning appliance: $100\n- Siting a manufactured building: $150\n- Moving a building: $500\n- Transfer of a permit to a new owner: $100\n- Extra inspections: $100 (the first is free); inspections outside business hours are $150 per hour\n- Security deposit for municipal property: $1,000\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Ask Building and Development Services for the fees that apply to your project.\n2. Pay the application fee when you submit your application.\n3. Pay the rest of the permit fee in full before the permit is issued.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Starting work without a permit adds a penalty equal to the permit fee, up to $500.\n- The Village's pages do not say which payment methods it accepts for permit fees; ask at the Village Office.\n- The older Bylaw 392 schedule shows lower rates. Use the current Bylaw 530.","sources":[{"url":"https://radiumhotsprings.civicweb.net/document/21179/","title":"Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 530, 2026 (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://radiumhotsprings.civicweb.net/document/4160/","title":"Building and Plumbing Bylaw No. 392, 2013 (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://radiumhotsprings.ca/building-development/building-permits/","title":"Building Permits, Village of Radium Hot Springs","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://radiumhotsprings.ca/administration/departments-staff/building-and-development-services/","title":"Building and Development Services, Village of Radium Hot Springs","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/radium-hot-springs/building-permit-fees/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/radium-hot-springs/building-permit-fees.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/radium-hot-springs/building-permit-fees.json"}}
