Yes, a permit is required for any deck that is more than 24 inches (60 cm) above the adjacent grade or if it is attached to the house. The City of Victoria charges a $100 application fee plus 1.4% of the total construction value.
Pressure-treated wood is the cheapest at $30–$45 per sq ft installed, but Western Red Cedar ($45–$60) is a popular local choice. However, due to Victoria's high moisture levels, composite decking ($55–$130) is increasingly recommended for its 25-30 year lifespan and low maintenance.
Disposal at the Hartland Landfill costs approximately $80 per tonne for clean wood and $110 per tonne for treated wood or asphalt shingles. Professional demolition and hauling typically add $5–$15 per square foot to the project total.
While simple residential deck permits can sometimes be processed in 4-6 weeks, the City of Victoria has introduced 'permit fee holidays' and streamlined processes to manage the 2026 construction demand, though complex designs may still take longer.
