Demolition in Cumberland
Courtenay Demolition removes houses, garages and outbuildings in the Village of Cumberland. Cumberland asks for a hazardous materials declaration with your permit, we hold a WorkSafeBC asbestos abatement licence, and your $1,500 deposit comes back when the site passes.
Cumberland's demolition permit application takes three things: a permit fee, a deposit, and a hazardous materials declaration form. Its older housing stock also means asbestos testing is part of the routine here, not the exception.
The Cumberland permit fee
Cumberland charges a $100 application fee plus a $100 permit fee for a demolition, set under Fees Amendment Bylaw No. 1261, 2026. We file the paperwork with the Village and pay both fees as part of getting your permit issued.
Your $1,500 deposit
The Village asks for a refundable $1,500 deposit before it issues the permit. You get it back once the site passes its final inspection. We include the deposit in the price we quote you, so the written price you get from us is what you pay.
The hazardous materials declaration
Cumberland's application includes a Hazardous Materials Declaration form. We complete it and file it with your permit — it's paperwork we handle as part of the job, not something you fill out yourself.
Why asbestos testing is routine in Cumberland
A lot of Cumberland's housing stock is older, and asbestos was widely used in BC building materials until the early 1990s. We hold a WorkSafeBC asbestos abatement licence, so if testing turns up asbestos in your walls, floors or ceiling, we handle the abatement ourselves instead of bringing in a second contractor.
