The Building Inspector sets the estimated value of the work from the contract price and the fair market value.\n\nPermit fee by estimated value:\n\n- Up to $5,000: $25.\n- Over $5,000 up to $50,000: $5 per $1,000 or part.\n- Over $50,000: $3 per $1,000 or part.\n\nThe bylaw does not say whether each rate applies to the whole value or only the part above the threshold. Ask the District to confirm your amount.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Pay the plan processing fee with your application: $100 for a new one-family dwelling, otherwise 50% of the estimated permit fee (minimum $25, maximum $2,000). It is non-refundable but credited toward the permit fee.\n2. Pay the permit fee to the Building Inspector before the permit is issued.\n3. Pay within 30 days of notice that the permit is ready, or the plan processing fee is forfeited.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Other fees: demolition or removal $25; plumbing fixture $5 each; solid fuel appliance or chimney $25; temporary building permit $100 a year; reinspection after the second inspection $30; building move inspection within the municipality $60.\n- Special inspections are $60 each, or $60 an hour after hours. Permit transfer and extension cost 10% of the permit fee or $30, whichever is greater; renewal is 50% of the permit fee. There is no charge for an occupancy permit.\n- The bylaw does not list payment methods. Call 250-789-3392.\n- A newer fees bylaw (No. 899, 2025) is posted but could not be read, so these amounts may have changed.","sources":[{"url":"https://districtoftaylor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/391-1991-District-of-Taylor-Building-Bylaw.pdf","title":"District of Taylor Building Bylaw No. 391, 1991 (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://districtoftaylor.com/contact/","title":"Contact, District of Taylor","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/taylor/building-permit-fees/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/taylor/building-permit-fees.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/taylor/building-permit-fees.json"}}
