There are two types of damage deposits:
- Damage Deposits including Lot Grades, and
-
Damage Deposits only.
The fees are set according to the structure being built.
PLEASE NOTE: ONLY in the R.M. of West St. Paul are applicants required to make application at our office first. Our office will do a preliminary review and once the preliminary review is complete, our office will inform the applicant to make the lot grade/damage deposit. The R.M. will not receive lot grade/damage deposits until they receive the necessary paperwork from our office.
A lot grade is typically required for any first structure or dwelling structure on the property. The damage deposit for dwellings may include your access permit and/or sewer hook-up fees set by the Municipality. Please keep in mind that this sewer fee is NOT the same as your On-Site Waste Water Management permit required by Manitoba Conservation. The damage deposit is refundable in full or in part depending on the requirements of the deposit.
To have your deposit refunded on dwellings and dwelling additions, a FINAL INSPECTION must be completed and passed by the Selkirk and District Planning Area Board. Once this requirement is complete, homeowners may request the deposit refund from the Municipal office. The Municipal office will request confirmation from our office. Once confirmed, the Municipal office will refund your damage deposit.
Fees are set by the Rural Municipality. Please contact the municipal office for further information.
