## How it works

**On the street.** Under the [Highway Regulation Bylaw No. 586-2018](<https://anmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Bylaw-586-2018-Highway-Regulation-Consolidated-2025-05-15.pdf>) (s. 7), no RV or vehicle over 5,500 kg may park on a highway except while moving, loading or unloading. No unattached trailer may stay on a highway, and no vehicle may stay more than 72 consecutive hours. Under the [Parking Regulation and Enforcement Bylaw No. 308-2001](<https://anmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Bylaw-308-2001-Parking-Regulation-and-Enforcement-Bylaw-Consolidated-2025-05-15.pdf>), commercial vehicles may not park on a municipal highway from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.

**On your property.** The [Zoning Bylaw No. 568-2017](<https://anmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Bylaw-568-2017-Zoning-Bylaw-CONSOLIDATED-2026-10-22-1.pdf>) (s. 5.15) allows one RV (up to 5,500 kg) or utility trailer (up to 3,000 kg) plus one boat; on a lot over 2,024 m², one more RV or trailer.

## Good to know

- Vehicles on a lot must be licensed to the owner and kept 1.0 m from the front and side lot lines. Trailers over 4 m must be screened by 1.8 m evergreens, unless parked under 15 days.
- Vehicles over 5,500 kg are barred except on RS-1 parcels of 4,047 m² or more, and those may not be kept in the front or exterior side yard.
- Living in a tent or trailer on a lot is prohibited in all zones unless the Zoning Bylaw says otherwise. On a highway or boulevard, camping in a tent, trailer, motor home or other RV is banned between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., unless a Highway Use Permit allows it.
- **Fines:** a bylaw notice is $200 for an RV or vehicle over 5,500 kg on a highway, $200 for an unattached trailer, $300 for over 72 hours, $500 for camping on a highway and $500 for 6 or more vehicles on a lot. The municipal ticket amounts are $200, $400, $300, $800 and $500, so the two lists differ for the trailer and camping offences. Confirm with the Village.
