The short version: the British Columbia oversize product is the Oversize permit, single trip, priced at a flat CA$15; overweight is the Overload permit, single trip, 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. British Columbia oversize permit fees
CA$15 flat, for the Oversize permit, single trip (single-trip).
3. British Columbia overweight permit fees
The overweight product here is the Overload permit, single trip (single-trip).
Priced by the kilometre
s. 3(d): for each single trip permit, a fee "for each 10 km of operation or fraction thereof (minimum $25.00)" stepping from $0.95 at up to 2 000 kg of overload to $21.40 at 27 001-28 000 kg, and above 28 000 kg "$21.40 plus $1.85 for each 900 kg or portion thereof exceeding 28 000 kg, for each 10 km"
The source states a floor of CA$25, 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
| Product | Fee (CAD) |
|---|---|
| One-month term, oversize | CA$30 |
| One-month term, overweight | CA$100 |
Products this province issues that we record and do not price3 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.
- Oversize term permit not exceeding one month: $30 (s. 3(e)(ii)).
- Overload TERM permit not exceeding one month: $100 (s. 3(d)). Flat in distance, unlike the single-trip overload permit, and therefore priceable once the quote can carry a term product.
- Miscellaneous permit fee, s. 3(f): a permit other than an oversize permit for a vehicle failing size requirements is charged as an oversize permit.
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 British Columbia?
The Oversize permit, single trip is CA$15 in Canadian dollars. That is the published figure, not a conversion.
Does British Columbia 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 British Columbia 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.
