The short version: the Saskatchewan oversize product is the Single trip permit (Highways and Transportation Act s. 36), priced across 7 published dimensional bands; overweight is the Single trip overweight permit (s. 36), 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.

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. Saskatchewan oversize permit fees
| Measurement | Published band | Fee (CAD) | As published |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | over 2.6 m up to 3.1 mover about 8 ft 6 in · up to about 10 ft 2 in — A PUBLISHED ZERO. The permit is required and the fee for it is nil. | CA$0 | s. 23(1)(a)(i) more than 2.6 m but not more than 3.1 m wide, nil |
| Width | over 3.1 m up to 3.7 mover about 10 ft 2 in · up to about 12 ft 2 in | CA$17 | s. 23(1)(a)(ii) more than 3.1 m but not more than 3.7 m wide, $17 |
| Width | over 3.7 m up to 4.3 mover about 12 ft 2 in · up to about 14 ft 1 in | CA$36 | s. 23(1)(a)(iii) more than 3.7 m but not more than 4.3 m wide, $36 |
| Width | over 4.3 mover about 14 ft 1 in | CA$72 | s. 23(1)(a)(iv) more than 4.3 m wide, $72 |
| Length | over 12.5 m up to 23 mover about 41 ft · up to about 75 ft 6 in — A PUBLISHED ZERO, on the same terms as the narrowest width band. | CA$0 | s. 23(3)(a)(ii) more than 12.5 m but not more than 23 m long, nil |
| Length | over 23 m up to 29 mover about 75 ft 6 in · up to about 95 ft 2 in | CA$10 | s. 23(3)(a)(iii) more than 23 m but not more than 29 m long, $10 |

3. Saskatchewan overweight permit fees
The overweight product here is the Single trip overweight permit (s. 36) (single-trip).
Priced by the kilometre
s. 22(2) and s. 22(5): where a single-trip permit provides for an axle unit (or a group of axles that is not an axle unit) to carry weight exceeding the maximum allowable gross weight, "the fee is $42 plus $0.05 for each kilometre travelled"
The source states a floor of CA$42, 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 price6 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.
- Multiple trip (one year) over-width permits: $15 / $100 / $144 / $144 by the same bands (s. 23(1)(b)); over-length: $10 / $60 / $120 (s. 23(3)(b)); EEMV or LCV multiple vehicle multiple trip permit $300 (s. 23(3)(c)).
- Over-width BUILDING permit: nil to 3.05 m, $36 to 6.0 m, $72 above (s. 23(2)).
- Multi-trip overweight permit: $66 per tonne or part tonne in excess per year, prorated by twelfths with a $10 minimum (ss. 22(3)-(4)). Flat in distance.
- Road construction and maintenance equipment, single trip: $20 plus $0.20 per km over 10 km (s. 22(7)) — distance-priced.
- Over-height permits on the three high-load corridor routes: $1 plus $0.20 for every 10 cm over 6 m, per km, or $6.80 per km at 8.9 m or more (s. 23.1(2)) — distance-priced.
- s. 21: no fee for a grain bin of any dimension, a load of hay, farm equipment, or any move of not more than 10 km on a provincial highway — sourced zeros.
5. Who else issues a permit here
Part of the network here is permitted by somebody else. A provincial total can be complete and still be missing a whole permit.
- Rural municipalities issue their own overweight permits for RM roads. No provincial source states those fees, so an RM road on the route is unpriced and no figure is carried for it.
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 Saskatchewan?
Saskatchewan prices its oversize permit across 7 published dimensional bands rather than at one flat figure — every band and its published wording is in the fee section above, in Canadian dollars.
Does Saskatchewan 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 Saskatchewan 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.
