Serving the Comox Valley
Demolition in Comox
Courtenay Demolition handles teardowns, garage removals and strip-outs in the Town of Comox. Comox does its own water and sewer disconnections, so we book that step early, and you get a written price from us within 24 hours.
Comox prices a demolition permit differently than its neighbours, and one step in the process runs entirely on the Town's own schedule — we plan every Comox job around both.
How Comox prices a demolition permit
Comox issues its demolition permit under Building Bylaw No. 1472, and the fee follows the same formula as any other building permit in town: a $100 minimum, plus $10 for every $1,000 of construction value. The bylaw publishes no separate demolition rate and no demolition deposit, so what you pay depends on the value of the work, not a flat number.
Why we book your disconnection early
The Town of Comox carries out its own water and sewer disconnections — no contractor, including us, can do that step for you. We put the request in as soon as we have your permit application filed, since the Town runs that work on its own schedule and a late request can hold up your start date.
What a Comox teardown or strip-out involves
A house or garage in Comox comes down the way it would anywhere in the region — access for the machine, the utilities capped, the debris sorted and hauled to the Comox Valley Waste Management Centre. We handle the permit application and the disconnection request as part of the job.
Sorting your load in Comox
Rubble goes out at $60 a tonne and clean wood at $120, both well under the $205 a tonne mixed construction and demolition rate. We separate your load before it leaves the property, so a Comox job doesn't pay the mixed rate on material that could go out clean.
