What are the fees and costs of obtaining permits and approvals?
For the majority of permits and approvals, no fees apply. The exceptions to this rule is the Road Closure form – a $1500 processing fee is charged which is applied against the final purchase price. Other expenses which applicants frequently incur include the following: • Design studies • Legal fees • Geotechnical and/or archaeological studies • Engineering reports • Public consultation • Implementation costs • Inspection costs If the cost of inspection is excessive (because of the remoteness or your project or other extraordinary circumstances), you may be charged for any additional costs. Other agencies may charge processing or inspection fees.
