Pay the plan-check deposit with your application: $100 for a single-family dwelling, $200 for multi-family, industrial, commercial or institutional, or $50 for an accessory building or addition. It is non-refundable and credited against the permit fee.\n2. Pay the balance when the permit is issued, by cheque, cash, debit card or online through your bank.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- The schedule says the calculated fee is reduced 10% for some municipal permits. It does not say whether that applies in Silverton, so ask the Nakusp office.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.rdck.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Bylaw-No.-2383-2014.pdf","title":"Building Bylaw No. 2200 Schedule A fees, consolidated for convenience (PDF, June 2026), Regional District of Central Kootenay","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.rdck.ca/development-community-sustainability-services/building/permit-application/","title":"Permit Application, Regional District of Central Kootenay","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/silverton/building-permit-fees/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/silverton/building-permit-fees.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/silverton/building-permit-fees.json"}}
