In 2026, the City of Victoria charges a building permit fee of 1.4% of the total construction value, plus a $100 application fee. For a $15,000 roof replacement, the permit would cost approximately $310.
The Hartland Landfill in Victoria charges $110 per tonne for asphalt shingles as of 2026. A typical 2,000 sq ft roof produces about 2.5 to 3 tonnes of waste, resulting in roughly $275 to $330 in tipping fees alone, excluding hauling labor.
While a metal roof costs between $12 and $30 per sq ft (compared to $4.50-$9.50 for asphalt), it is highly recommended for Victoria's wet, moss-prone climate. Metal roofs last 50+ years and can increase home resale value by approximately $23,000.
No. The 2026-2027 fee waiver in Victoria applies to planning and development fees (like rezoning or development permits) for housing projects. Standard building permits required for roof replacements still carry the 1.4% construction value fee.
