If you are planning to build, modify or change a structure, or change the way you are using your land, a development permit will likely be required. See here for a list of developments that do not require a permit. (Sched 3). What you are allowed to develop on your property depends on its "land use zoning". In the Land Use Bylaw, each land use designation contains a list of "discretionary" and "permitted" uses allowed. If you do not see your proposed development listed as a use, you may be required to amend the Land Use Bylaw and rezone your property first. You may explore our mapping system VC Maps to discover your land use zoning, or contact our Development team at (403) 485-3135 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
