The short version: the Northwest Territories oversize product is the Overdimension permit, single trip, priced at a flat CA$38; overweight is the Overweight 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.

Oversize fees

2. Northwest Territories oversize permit fees

CA$38 flat, for the Overdimension permit, single trip (single-trip).

Overweight fees

3. Northwest Territories overweight permit fees

The overweight product here is the Overweight permit, single trip (single-trip).

Priced by the kilometre

s. 27: the fixed part of the fee is "D is an amount of $20", added to A x B x C where "A is an amount of $10", B is the kilograms overweight "divided by 1,000" and C is the trip kilometres "divided by 100"

The source states a floor of CA$20, 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.

How the oversize and overweight charges relate on one move: These are different permits — the move needs both, each priced on its own.

Term products

4. Term and annual products

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.

  • Annual overdimension permit: $144 in Schedule O, $154 on the live permit pages (unresolved).
  • Special permit: $268; replacement permit: $31 (Schedule O).
  • Wide-base super single permit and annual 8- and 9-axle winter permits: $286 per tractor on the permit pages.

Questions

How much is an oversize permit in Northwest Territories?

Does Northwest Territories 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 Northwest Territories fees in US dollars?

Canadian permit fees are stated in CANADIAN DOLLARS by every source they come from, and the CAD figure is the cited one. The US-dollar figure beside it is OUR conversion: at the European Central Bank daily reference rate when a current one is held, otherwise at the dated Bank of Canada annual average, and the line that converts it names the rate and its date.
