Common Questions

In 2026, the City of Victoria charges a $100 application fee plus a building permit fee of approximately 1.4% of the total construction value. For a standard $25,000 renovation, homeowners should budget between $450 and $650 for combined building and plumbing permits.

A full master ensuite renovation typically ranges from $35,000 to $62,000. High-end projects involving custom walk-in showers with linear drains, heated flooring, and double vanities often exceed $45,000 due to the high cost of specialized labor in the CRD.

Mid-range bathroom renovations in Victoria currently yield a return on investment of 65% to 80%. This remains one of the highest ROI home improvements in the local market, particularly for homes in Saanich and Oak Bay where updated bathrooms significantly impact resale value.

Most projects take 5 to 9 weeks. The timeline is heavily influenced by the 4-12 week permit processing window at City Hall and the current shortage of local ticketed plumbers, which can add 2 weeks of scheduling delays.
