The short version: the Alberta oversize product is the Single Trip Overdimensional Permit, priced at a flat CA$18.75; overweight is the Single Trip Overweight (and Overdimensional) Permit, priced by the kilometre travelled inside the province. Every figure on this page is in Canadian dollars, exactly as its source publishes it, and nothing here is converted.
1. Where the load goes next
The bordering jurisdictions, each carrying the one fact that decides whether that border is the expensive one. A multi-jurisdiction lane is the actual job, and this is one click rather than a return to the index.
2. Alberta oversize permit fees
CA$18.75 flat, for the Single Trip Overdimensional Permit (single-trip).
3. Alberta overweight permit fees
The overweight product here is the Single Trip Overweight (and Overdimensional) Permit (single-trip).
Priced by the kilometre
s. 19(1)(e): $0.03 per tonne per kilometre over the lesser of the registered weight and the sum of allowable axle weights, plus the Schedule 8 steering axle fee per km, plus the Schedule 9 axle group weight fee per km
The source states a floor of CA$18.75, which is a floor and not a total.
Several provinces price an overweight permit by the kilometres travelled INSIDE that province. We do not measure per-province kilometres — that needs a Canadian road network and provincial boundary polygons (Statistics Canada / the National Road Network), which this engine does not hold — so the fee is left unpriced rather than computed from the lane total, which would be a different and smaller number.
4. Term and annual products
Products this province issues that we record and do not price5 products
Each of these is a real, published product. It is recorded and left unpriced because choosing between a trip permit and a twelve-month permit is a question about what is being bought, not a data gap — and answering it unasked would quote a year of permits for one move.
Each line below quotes the regulation in its own words, so the dollar signs are the regulation's. They are Canadian dollars, like every other figure on this page.
- Multi-trip Overdimensional Permit: $75 (s. 19(1)(b)).
- Multi-trip Overweight Permit: $75 plus the Schedule 10 and Schedule 11 fees, which are PER MONTH and not per kilometre — so the multi-trip overweight permit is priceable from axle-group detail the quote does not yet collect.
- Long Combination Vehicle Permit: $375 (s. 19(1)(c)).
- High Load Corridor Permit: a fee per kilometre on the Schedule 12 routes.
- No fee is payable for a permit issued to a government or a municipality (s. 19(4)); the Director may reduce a fee by $6.25 where a TRAVIS agent files the application (s. 19(9)); fees round to the nearest dollar (s. 19(6)).
5. Who else issues a permit here
No second permit issuer is recorded for this province.
6. These figures are Canadian dollars
Canadian permit fees are stated in CANADIAN DOLLARS by every source they come from, and this quote does not convert currency — there is no exchange-rate source on the answer path. A CAD permit fee is therefore shown on its own line in CAD and is NOT included in any US-dollar subtotal.

Questions
How much is an oversize permit in Alberta?
The Single Trip Overdimensional Permit is CA$18.75 in Canadian dollars. That is the published figure, not a conversion.
Does Alberta price an overweight permit by distance?
Yes — and that is why we do not put a number on it. Several provinces price an overweight permit by the kilometres travelled INSIDE that province. We do not measure per-province kilometres — that needs a Canadian road network and provincial boundary polygons (Statistics Canada / the National Road Network), which this engine does not hold — so the fee is left unpriced rather than computed from the lane total, which would be a different and smaller number.
Are these Alberta fees in US dollars?
Canadian permit fees are stated in CANADIAN DOLLARS by every source they come from, and this quote does not convert currency — there is no exchange-rate source on the answer path. A CAD permit fee is therefore shown on its own line in CAD and is NOT included in any US-dollar subtotal.
