Building Permit Fees & Fee Estimator
Use the Building Permit Fee Estimator to estimate your fees for Surrey building and sign permits.
The Surrey Building Bylaw No. 17850 requires a non‐refundable plan processing fee to be submitted at the time of building permit application.
Processing fee
A non‐refundable plan processing fee, equal to 35% of the estimated building permit fee, shall be submitted at the time of building permit application.
Fees can be paid by cash, cheque or debit. Credit cards are accepted up to $15,000.
This plan processing fee will be credited against the total building permit fee. The balance of the building permit fee will be collected prior to issuance of the building permit. This applies to the following types of proposed work:
- New buildings
- Additions to existing buildings
- Building envelope remediation
For all other types of proposed work, including tenant improvements and renovations, the full building permit fee shall be submitted at the time of building permit application.
For revisions to issued building permits, a non‐refundable plan processing fee, equal to one hour of the plan review fee, shall be submitted at the time of revision application. This plan processing fee will be credited against the total revision fee. The balance of any further required revision fee will be collected prior to issuance of the revision permit.
If applicable, securities (e.g., damage deposits) may be required at the time of building permit application. Please consult the current fee schedule for the building permit fee, plan review fee, and securities.
