## How it works

The District of 100 Mile House requires a permit under its [Building Bylaw No. 695](https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2023-05/bylaw%20695%20consolidated%20Building%20Bylaw_updated%20May%2016%202023.pdf) before you start any construction, addition, alteration, change of use or demolition of a building or structure. The owner applies, or authorizes a contractor with an Owners Undertaking.

No permit is needed for:

- one storage building per parcel up to 10 m² with no mechanical services;
- a building or structure valued under $4,000 or up to 15 m²;
- non-structural repairs up to $4,000 (no new rooms, plumbing or foundation drains);
- re-roofing or re-cladding, unless structural repairs are needed or insulation is replaced;
- decks 600 mm or less above the ground;
- repairs to plumbing fixtures.

Exempt work must still follow zoning and other bylaws.

## Steps

1. Check your zoning first (see zoning-lookup).
2. Fill in the permit application form from the District's [Building Permits](https://www.100milehouse.com/business-development/building-permits) page and sign it.
3. Prepare a minimum of two complete sets of drawings, specifications and plans drawn to scale, and a site plan. Add an Owners Undertaking if someone other than the owner applies or books inspections.
4. Submit everything to the District. The page lists no online portal.
5. The District phones you with the fees when the permit is ready. Pay before the permit is issued.
6. For each inspection, call 250-395-2434 with the permit number, type of inspection, civic address, your name and phone, and the date you want.

## Good to know

- Give at least one working day's notice for an inspection. Only the owner or a person named in the Owners Undertaking may request one.
- The Building Permits web page says one set of plans, but the bylaw says at least two. The bylaw is followed here; confirm with the District.
- The exemption in the bylaw reads "valued at less than $4,000 or does not exceed 15 square metres". Ask the District how it applies to your project.

# 100 Mile House fence rules: permits and height limits

**Question:** Do I need a permit to build a fence, and how high can it be?

**Short answer:** In 100 Mile House the Building Bylaw does not treat a fence as a structure, so it lists no building permit for one. Under the Zoning Bylaw a fence may be 1.2 m high in the front and 2.0 m elsewhere on most lots. Confirm with the District before you build.

**Who handles it:** Municipal (District of 100 Mile House, https://www.100milehouse.com)  
**Cost:** No fence permit fee is listed in the District's Fees and Charges Bylaw.  
**How long:** Not applicable; no fence permit is listed.  
**Where:**
- In person: Municipal Hall, #1-385 Birch Ave., 100 Mile House, BC V0K 2E0 (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)
- Phone: District office, 250-395-2434

## How it works

The [Building Bylaw No. 695](https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2023-05/bylaw%20695%20consolidated%20Building%20Bylaw_updated%20May%2016%202023.pdf) defines "structure" so that it excludes fences, so no building permit is required for a fence. A fence must still meet the height rules in section 5.12 of the [Zoning Bylaw No. 1466](https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-11/Zoning%20Bylaw%20No.%201466%2C%202026%20-%20CONSOLIDATED.pdf).

## Steps

1. Check the height limit for your lot (below).
2. If you are on a corner lot, check the vision clearance rule.
3. Call the District office at 250-395-2434 if you are unsure which rule applies to your zone.

## Good to know

- Front: 1.2 m high between the front parcel line and the building or use on the parcel (fences, walls and hedges, other than required screening).
- Elsewhere on the parcel: 2.0 m. In agricultural and industrial zones, 3.0 m. In the CD-3 zone, 2.5 m.
- Open mesh or chain link fences may reach 4.0 m in agricultural, industrial or institutional/public use zones.
- Height is measured from the average grade one metre from both sides of the fence.
- Corner lots: nothing over 1 m high (landscaping, buildings or structures, but chain link fences are excepted) within a triangle 6 m along the lot lines from where streets intersect. In the C-1 zone, no structure or vegetation between 1 and 3 m high within 3 m of the lot line next to the highway (poles, signs, columns and tree trunks excepted).
- A swimming pool over 15 m² and 1.0 m deep must be enclosed by a fence at least 1.5 m high, with no openings over 100 mm and a self-closing, spring-locked gate.
- Storage yards need a solid fence or wall 2.4 m high or a hedge 1.5 m high.

## How it works

Under the District's [Building Bylaw No. 695](https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2023-05/bylaw%20695%20consolidated%20Building%20Bylaw_updated%20May%2016%202023.pdf), these need no building permit if they comply with zoning and other bylaws:

- **Shed:** one storage building per parcel up to 10 m² with no mechanical services. Separately, a building or structure valued under $4,000 or not over 15 m².
- **Deck:** a deck attached to a residential building with a surface 600 mm or less above the adjacent ground. The bylaw lists no exemption for higher decks.
- **Garage or carport:** the bylaw lists no exemption, so a permit applies unless a small-building exemption above fits.

Zoning rules apply even when no permit is needed. Accessory buildings go in the rear or side yard, outside required setbacks, once the main building is built or being built. In the R-1 zone, the [Zoning Bylaw No. 1466](https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-11/Zoning%20Bylaw%20No.%201466%2C%202026%20-%20CONSOLIDATED.pdf) allows a maximum height of 5 m, and setbacks of at least 6 m from the front line, 1.5 m from an interior side line, 1.0 m from the rear line and 3.0 m from an exterior side line. All buildings together may cover 40% of the parcel. Other zones differ.

## Steps

1. Check your zoning and the accessory building rules for your zone.
2. If a permit applies, follow the building-permit steps. The District offers a "Residential Garage/Workshop Application Drawings" handout on its [Building Permits](https://www.100milehouse.com/business-development/building-permits) page.
3. Call 250-395-2434 if you are unsure.

## Good to know

- Portable buildings are capped at 35 m².
- The wording "valued at less than $4,000 or does not exceed 15 square metres" can be read more than one way. Confirm with the District.

## How it works

Fees are in Schedule C of the District's [Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1434](https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-04/Bylaw%201434%20Fees%20%20Charges%20Consolidated.pdf). The permit fee is based on the estimated value of construction: $200 plus $10 per $1,000 of value up to $200,000. Over $200,000, add $6 per $1,000 of the excess. For houses, garages and similar buildings, the Building Inspector sets the value using RS Means square-foot costs.

Work valued at $1.00 to $1,000 has a $200 fee, plus the separate application fee.

## Steps

1. Pay the $200 non-refundable application fee when you apply. It applies to all permits except where the permit fee is less than $200. The permit fee is charged in addition.
2. For anything other than a single-family dwelling or its accessory building, a plan processing fee of 50% of the estimated permit fee, up to $2,000, accompanies the application.
3. The District phones you with the fees when the permit is ready. Pay the Building Inspector before the permit is issued.

## Good to know

- Other fees: plumbing permit $200 (includes 1 fixture), then $10 per extra fixture; residential demolition $150; chimney or new solid fuel appliance $150; re-plan checking $500.
- Restoration and clean-up security is $500 for residential and $2,500 for commercial work. The Building Permits page says clean-up bonds are refundable upon final inspection.
- Starting work without a permit (stop-work order posted) doubles the fee, with the extra capped at $750.
- A plan processing fee is forfeited if the permit is not secured and fully paid within 30 days of notification.
- The Building Permits page also lists a $50 minimum plan processing fee that is not in the bylaw. The bylaw is followed here; confirm with the District.

3. Look up that zone in the Zoning Bylaw for permitted uses, setbacks and heights.

# 100 Mile House tree removal rules and permits

**Question:** Do I need permission to cut down a tree on my property?

Trees in parks are protected.

**Who handles it:** Municipal (District of 100 Mile House, https://www.100milehouse.com)  
**Cost:** No tree permit fee is stated in the District's Fees and Charges Bylaw.  
**How long:** Not applicable; no tree permit is listed.  
**Where:**
- In person: Municipal Hall, #1-385 Birch Ave., 100 Mile House, BC V0K 2E0 (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)

## How it works

The District's posted bylaws do not include a permit to cut a tree on private land, and no fee or replacement-planting rule is stated. The [Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1465](https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-09/bylaw%201465%20Official%20Community%20Plan%20Bylaw%20Consolidated.pdf) does set development permit areas. In those, including the Environmentally Sensitive area near streams, a development permit approved by Council is required before any construction or alteration. The plan does not say whether removing a tree counts as development there.

## Steps

1. Find out if your lot is in a development permit area, especially near a stream. Call the District office at 250-395-2434.
2. If it is, ask Planning before cutting whether you need a development permit.
3. Check that the tree is on your lot and not on a boulevard or in a park.

## Good to know

- In the Environmentally Sensitive area, no development permit is needed for farm operations in the Agricultural Land Reserve, or for removal of dangerous trees or invasive species. This exempts the development permit only; it is not a tree-cutting permit exemption.
- In a park, community facility or boulevard, nobody may cut, remove or destroy any natural park feature, which includes any tree. Under the [Parks and Community Facilities Bylaw No. 1467](https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-07/Bylaw%201467%20Parks%20and%20Community%20Facilities.pdf), a boulevard counts as a park.
- Court fines under the Parks Bylaw are $500 to $10,000. The District's site does not post bylaw ticket amounts for trees.

## How it works

The District arranges curbside collection through its contractor, Environmental 360 Solutions, under the [Solid Waste and Recyclables Regulation Bylaw No. 1284](<https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2021-01/Bylaw_1284_Solid_Waste__Recyclables_0.pdf>). Garbage is collected every Tuesday and recycling every second Tuesday. The District's Garbage and Recycling page links a "2026-2027 Garbage & Recycling Calendar" PDF showing which Tuesdays recycling falls on. The bylaw calls the schedule weekly for garbage and bi-weekly for recycling.

## Steps

1. Put your containers out by 7:00 a.m. on collection day and bring them in the same day.
2. Place them with the wheels against the curb (or at the edge of the roadway if there is no curb), 3 to 4 feet apart, lids closed, with the area clear of debris and snow.
3. To get totes, call the District at 250-395-2434. For a damaged tote, contact Environmental 360 Solutions.

## Good to know

- The bylaw has the contractor issue one 240 L garbage container (black lid) and one 240 L recycling container (blue lid) to each dwelling unit, duplex, triplex and four-plex that existed in 2015. Containers stay with the parcel and may not be moved off it. Owners are responsible for lost or damaged containers.
- The District's page says to leave at least 4 feet between totes; the bylaw says 3 to 4 feet. Leave 4 feet to satisfy both.
- Garbage must fit in the container with the lid closed. Excess garbage beside the container, an open lid or oversized items may not be collected, and you must dispose of it yourself. No extra-bag or tag program is stated.
- Recycling is packaging only: no products, no glass, no plastic bags.
- The charge is a levy on residential properties with containers and appears on your property tax notice. See the [Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1434](https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-04/Bylaw%201434%20Fees%20%20Charges%20Consolidated.pdf).
- The District's page mentions no organics or yard waste collection.

## How it works

Part 15 (Water Restrictions) of the District's Water Rates and Regulation Bylaw No. 1474, 2026 applies to all residential and commercial customers of the District water system. Even-numbered addresses may sprinkle only on even-numbered days, and odd-numbered addresses only on odd-numbered days. Sprinkling is allowed only during the times Community Services designates; the bylaw gives no hours. The bylaw text is not posted on the District's website, so this comes from the September 8, 2026 [council agenda](https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-09/2026_Sept_8_Regular_Agenda_PKG_2.pdf).

## Good to know

- Hand watering plants with a hose fitted with a hand-controlled nozzle, or with a hand-held container, is allowed at any time.
- The bylaw sets no dates or stages. Council may suspend or limit water use whenever the public interest requires, so ask the District or check its website for any current restriction.
- The bylaw has no stated rule for new lawns.
- Bylaw notice for watering contrary to the restrictions: $100 ($50 if paid within 14 days, $110 after 28 days). On conviction in court the fine is $100 to $2,000 plus costs.
- Water emergency after hours (broken pipes): 250-706-2217.

# 100 Mile House dog licences: fees and how to get one

**Question:** How do I get a dog licence, and what does it cost?

**Short answer:** In 100 Mile House, the District issues dog licences. A dog licence costs $30 for a spayed or neutered dog and $50 for one that is not. Apply with the online form on the District's Pet Licensing page.

**Who handles it:** Municipal (District of 100 Mile House, https://www.100milehouse.com)  
**Cost:** $30 for a neutered male or spayed female dog; $50 for any other dog. A dog not four months old until after June 30, or moved into the District after June 30, pays $20 or $35. Free if applied for by February 28 in a licensing year. Replacement licence or tag $2.50. Free for a registered guide or service dog.  
**How long:** Bylaw 1475 says a licence and tag last for the dog's lifetime, but the fee schedule and the Pet Licensing page still mention a licensing year. Ask the District whether you must renew each year.  
**Where:**
- Online: Dog Licence Application (online form on the Pet Licensing page), https://www.100milehouse.com/district-services/pet-licensing
- Phone: District of 100 Mile House office (changes to pet or contact details), 250-395-2434 (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)

Free if applied for by February 28 in a licensing year. The schedule does not say if the fee is yearly; Bylaw 1475 says a licence lasts the dog's lifetime. (Sources differ: Bylaw 1475 s. 4.3 makes a licence valid for the lifetime of the dog, but the fee schedule (Bylaw 1434, consolidated April 2026) still speaks of a 'licensing year' and a February 28 free-application date.

## How it works

The District issues licences and tags under its [Animal Control and Pound Operation Bylaw No. 1475](<https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-11/Bylaw%201475%20Animal%20Control%20and%20Pound%20Operations.pdf>). No one may keep a dog unless it has a valid licence, and the tag must stay on the dog's collar, harness or other suitable device. The bylaw sets no minimum age for a licensed dog. Fees are in the [Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1434](<https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-04/Bylaw%201434%20Fees%20%20Charges%20Consolidated.pdf>).

## Steps

1. Fill in the Dog Licence Application on the District's [Pet Licensing page](https://www.100milehouse.com/district-services/pet-licensing).
2. Pay the fee. The pages we read do not say where or how to pay, so call 250-395-2434 or email info@100milehouse.com to ask.
3. Put the tag on your dog's collar or harness.
4. If your pet or contact details change, call or email the District.

## Good to know

- Bylaw 1475 says a licence lasts the dog's lifetime, but the fee schedule and the Pet Licensing page still refer to a licensing year. Confirm with the District before you assume you never need to renew.
- Applying or renewing by February 28 in a licensing year is free, according to the fee schedule and the Pet Licensing page.
- A licence cannot be moved to another dog, and a new owner must get a new licence. No transfer fee is stated.
- A registered guide dog or service dog is licensed free.
- A dog without its tag can bring a bylaw notice of $100 ($50 if paid within 14 days, $110 after 28 days). The schedule has no separate row for an unlicensed dog.
- An impounded dog costs $25 the first time, $50 the second, $150 the third and $250 the fourth and later, plus $15 a day, plus the licence fee if it is unlicensed.

## How it works

Under the [Animal Control and Pound Operation Bylaw No. 1475](<https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-11/Bylaw%201475%20Animal%20Control%20and%20Pound%20Operations.pdf>), a dog may not be on any public property in 100 Mile House unless it is held on a leash by a person able to control it. The leash may not be longer than 3 metres (9.8 feet). A dog is "at large" unless it is on its owner's property, in a person's direct and continuous charge, on a 3 metre leash, or in an enclosure.

## Good to know

- Aggressive, biting and dangerous dogs must be on a 1 metre leash when off the owner's property.
- The bylaw provides for Designated Off-Leash Areas with posted rules. They include no more than 2 dogs per person, the owner stays with the dog, vaccinations are up to date, the owner picks up waste, no dogs in season, and children under 16 need an adult. Keep a leash up to 6 feet long with you to use before entering and when leaving. The bylaw and the pages we read do not say where the areas are, so ask the District.
- Dogs are not allowed on park beaches from May 15 to September 15, or in any park area or public place signed as closed to animals (see the [Parks Bylaw No. 1467](<https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-07/Bylaw%201467%20Parks%20and%20Community%20Facilities.pdf>)). Animals may not swim or go on ice in parks.
- Pick up your dog's feces right away when off your property and dispose of them sanitarily. In parks, remove all excrement. On your own property, remove it in a timely manner.
- A bylaw notice for a dog at large or off leash is $125 ($60 if paid within 14 days, $150 after 28 days). A dog in a restricted park area is $100 ($50 and $110).

## How it works

Under the [Animal Control and Pound Operation Bylaw No. 1475](<https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-11/Bylaw%201475%20Animal%20Control%20and%20Pound%20Operations.pdf>), a Bylaw Enforcement Officer decides, by written notice, whether a dog is a particular type:

- **Aggressive:** has shown aggressive behaviour or caused a minor injury.

- **Dangerous:** has killed or seriously injured a person or domestic animal, or the officer has reasonable grounds to believe it is likely to.
- **Vicious:** has killed or injured a person or pet, or without provocation shown aggression or pursued or harassed a person.

## Good to know

- Dangerous dog: 1 metre leash off the property, never at large or in an off-leash area, muzzled off the property, a warning sign at every entry, kept indoors or in an enclosure. The owner must be over 19, and the dog neutered or spayed with permanent identification.
- Aggressive dog: 1 metre leash, not at large, licensed as aggressive, owner over 19. A biting dog follows the same rules and must also be muzzled off the property and kept out of off-leash areas.
- A vicious dog must be kept indoors or in a locked, secure shelter, and muzzled off the owner's property.
- Owners of a dangerous dog must promptly tell the officer if it is at large, dies, is given away or moves.
- Bylaw notices are $300 for a dangerous dog ($150 if paid within 14 days, $325 after 28 days), $200 for an aggressive or biting dog ($100 and $225), and $300 for a vicious dog not properly secured or a dog without a muzzle off the property ($150 and $325).
- The bylaw and District pages do not say how to report a bite or aggressive dog. Call the District office at 250-395-2434 (contact form has a "Bylaw" option), or the RCMP non-emergency line at 250-395-2456. Call 911 in an emergency.

# 100 Mile House backyard chickens, bees and livestock rules

**Question:** Can I keep chickens, bees, or other livestock?

**Short answer:** No bylaw in 100 Mile House names backyard hens, and none sets a hen limit, coop rule or permit. Poultry and beekeeping count as agriculture under the Zoning Bylaw, which allows it in A-1, A-2 and A-3 zones, not the residential zones. Ask the District before getting birds.

**Who handles it:** Municipal (District of 100 Mile House, https://www.100milehouse.com)  
**Cost:** No permit, licence or fee for hens or bees is stated in the bylaws we read.  
**Where:**
- Phone: District of 100 Mile House office, 250-395-2434 (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)

## Key facts

- **Hens allowed:** No bylaw rule on backyard hens was found. Poultry counts as 'agriculture' under the Zoning Bylaw, and agriculture is a permitted use in the A-1, A-2 and A-3 zones. The residential zones read (R-1, ER-1, ER-2) list only single detached dwellings with accessory uses, not agriculture.

## How it works

The [Zoning Bylaw No. 1466](<https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-11/Zoning%20Bylaw%20No.%201466%2C%202026%20-%20CONSOLIDATED.pdf>) counts poultry and beekeeping as "agriculture". Agriculture is a permitted use in the A-1, A-2 and A-3 zones. The residential zones we read (R-1, ER-1, ER-2) list single detached dwellings with accessory uses, not agriculture. No bylaw we read mentions backyard hens as such, so check with the District before you buy birds.

## Good to know

- Hen limit: none found in the Zoning Bylaw or the [Animal Control Bylaw No. 1475](<https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-11/Bylaw%201475%20Animal%20Control%20and%20Pound%20Operations.pdf>).
- Roosters: no rule found. The Animal Control Bylaw bars letting any animal howl, bark or cry so as to unduly disturb others.
- Coops and runs: no rules found.
- Permit or registration: none found.
- Bees: no hive count, setback or registration rule found.
- Livestock, poultry, horses, goats and similar animals are allowed only when permitted by zoning. Where agriculture is permitted, livestock (hoofed animals such as horses, cattle, sheep, swine, goats and llamas) is not allowed on a parcel of 0.4 hectares or less.
- Ask the District at 250-395-2434 about your property's zone and what is allowed.

## Key facts

- **Backyard campfires:** Allowed with the property owner's permission if fuelled by seasoned wood, no larger than 0.5 m x 0.5 m, and attended by a competent person with enough equipment. Keep 3 m from combustible material. Not allowed when the Ministry of Forests rates fire hazard 'high' or at any other time the Ministry deems it dangerous.

  - Check: wording matched the official text retrieved 2026-11-08
- **Burning yard waste:** Not for ordinary yard waste. Burning garbage, compostable materials (grass, leaves, garden waste, weeds, plant and tree waste) or prohibited materials is banned, as are burning barrels and incinerators. Open burning needs an approved permit and a permitted burning period. In agricultural or industrial zones the Fire Chief may permit brush and slash piles.

- **Permit:** Open burning needs a permit from the Fire Chief or designate (100 Mile House Fire-Rescue). Bylaw s. 4.1 allows campfires with the owner's permission and mentions no permit, but the District's permit form is for campfires only and Fire-Rescue tells residents to apply. Allow 3 business days; permits expire Dec. 31. No fee stated. (Sources differ: Bylaw s. 4.1 permits campfires with the owner's permission and does not mention a permit, but s. 3.1 says campfires and open burning are not permitted except in accordance with the bylaw, and the District's form issues 'Category 1: Campfire Only' permits. Bylaw wins on the wording, but the District's page and form indicate a permit is expected. No fee found on the form or in Fees and Charges Bylaw 1434. Fire-Rescue phone on the form: 250-395-2152.)

## How it works

The [Open Burning Bylaw No. 1480](<https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-10/bylaw%201480%20Open%20Burning.pdf>) allows a campfire with the property owner's permission if it burns seasoned wood, is no larger than 0.5 m by 0.5 m, is attended by a competent person with enough equipment, and stays 3 m from combustible material. Campfires are not allowed when the Ministry of Forests rates the fire hazard "high" or at any other time the Ministry deems it dangerous.

Open burning of yard waste is not allowed. The bylaw bans burning garbage, compostable materials (grass, leaves, garden waste, weeds, plant and tree waste) and prohibited materials, and bans burning barrels and incinerators. In agricultural or industrial zones the Fire Chief may permit brush and slash piles.

## Steps

1. Read the bylaw and the [Fire Permit and Burning Information](https://www.100milehouse.com/district-services/emergency-services/100-mile-house-fire-rescue) page. The bylaw does not mention a permit for campfires, but the District's permit form covers campfires only, and Fire-Rescue tells residents to apply.
2. Fill in the [Burning Permit form](https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-03/Burning%20Permit%202026_Fillable.pdf) and send it to Fire-Rescue. Allow 3 business days.
3. Before you light any fire, confirm no ban is in effect. The District's pages do not say where to check; call 250-395-2152 or see www.100milefire.com.

## Good to know

- The Fire Chief may order a total ban on burning and suspend or cancel permits. Issued permits are invalid during a ban.
- Fires on a highway, street, lane, park or other public place are not allowed unless the Fire Chief authorizes them.
- Brush permits in agricultural or industrial zones are for Monday to Friday only, 50 m from buildings, with piles no more than 5 m across or 3 m high and someone watching until the fire is out. Burning cleared land for rezoning, subdivision or development is banned.
- Fire-Rescue encourages alternatives to burning. The Cariboo Regional District's South Cariboo Landfill takes yard waste; see the yard waste answer.
- Bylaw notices for open-burning offences are $100 ($50 if paid within 14 days, $110 after 28 days). The owner also pays Fire Department costs.

## How it works

The District's ticket schedule names a Fireworks Bylaw No. 1410, 2023. It lists offences for discharging fireworks outside a permitted period, for lighting display fireworks or pyrotechnic special effects without a permit, and for selling fireworks to anyone under 18. The bylaw text and the permitted dates are not posted on the District's website, and no other bylaw we read sets rules for fireworks on private property. Ask the District for the current rules before you buy or light any.

## Good to know

- A permit is required to light display fireworks or pyrotechnic special effects. Who issues it and the fee are not stated in the posted documents.
- In parks, fireworks are allowed only with a park permit under the [Parks Bylaw No. 1467](<https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-07/Bylaw%201467%20Parks%20and%20Community%20Facilities.pdf>).
- Bylaw notices under the Fireworks Bylaw: $100 for discharging outside a permitted period ($50 if paid within 14 days, $110 after 28 days), $125 for display fireworks without a permit ($60 and $150), and $100 for selling to a person under 18 ($50 and $110).
- In a park, fireworks without a permit bring a bylaw notice of $475 ($235 if paid within 14 days, $500 after 28 days).
- Fireworks and open fires are different. See the backyard fire answer for burning rules.

The bylaw itself is not posted on the District's website; the amounts below come from the Schedule A in the September 8, 2026 [council agenda](https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-09/2026_Sept_8_Regular_Agenda_PKG_2.pdf).

## Good to know

- Common notices (regular amount; early amount if paid within 14 days; amount after 28 days): dog at large $125 ($60, $150); more than 3 dogs $100 ($50, $110); noise disturbance $220 ($110, $245); unsightly property $125 ($60, $150); parking beyond a time limit $100 ($50, $110).
- Pay within 14 days of receiving the notice and the lower early amount applies. From day 15 to day 28 the regular amount applies. After 28 days a late payment surcharge applies and the higher amount is due.
- To dispute, within 14 days of receiving the notice either pay or ask for adjudication. Submit a review request in person during office hours, or by fax, email or mail to the District. You cannot dispute after 14 days. A person who loses an adjudication pays an extra $25.
- The individual bylaws also allow a court fine of $100 to $2,000 (plus costs) as an alternative to a notice. The [Solid Waste Bylaw No. 1284](<https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2021-01/Bylaw_1284_Solid_Waste__Recyclables_0.pdf>) allows a fine up to $1,000.

## How it works

The [Zoning Bylaw No. 1466](https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-11/Zoning%20Bylaw%20No.%201466%2C%202026%20-%20CONSOLIDATED.pdf) (s. 5.19) allows short-term rentals in all zones, as an accessory use in a single detached dwelling or as a rental of a sleeping unit in a dwelling unit. A short-term rental is a rental of 30 consecutive days or less, not including a bed and breakfast. The conditions are a valid licence, one onsite parking space, and a building with a valid residential building permit. No patron may stay within the same dwelling for more than 30 days in a calendar year.

The Zoning Bylaw sets no guest or bedroom limit.

## Steps

1. Call the District office at 250-395-2434 to confirm which licence applies to you.
2. Apply for a business licence (see business-licence). The fee for Bed and Breakfast / Short Term Rentals is $120, then $80 to renew.
3. Display the licence in the sales or reception area (Business License Bylaw s. 8.16).
4. Check the Province's rules. Each short-term rental unit needs its own registration number under the Province's registry, and the Province's page does not list 100 Mile House on either list as of June 1, 2026. Confirm with the Province's Short-Term Rental Registry.

## Good to know

- The [Business License Bylaw No. 1407](https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-08/BL%20bylaw.pdf) exempts renting not more than 2 rooms, which may conflict with the zoning requirement for a licence. Check with the District.
- Carrying on business without a licence: a bylaw notice is $125 if paid within 14 days, $250 in 15 to 28 days, and $275 after 28 days. Zoning rows for prohibited or non-permitted uses are $250, $500 and $525. No row names the short-term rental section.
