In a residential zone, no fence may be higher than: - 1.8 m in the rear and side yards. - 1.2 m in the front yard, or on any street-facing side yard of a corner lot. The bylaw defines a fence as a hedge, railing, trellis, louvres or other screen forming a boundary to or enclosing a parcel. A fence that forms part of a building is regulated as part of that building. We found no separate sightline or driveway-corner rule. The zoning bylaw does not say whether a fence needs a permit, and the Village has no building bylaw posted. The [Siting and Use Permits Bylaw No. 102-2017](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/48083/) requires a Siting and Use Permit before construction, but we could not read its thresholds, so ask the Village whether it covers a fence. ## Steps 1. Work out which yard the fence is in and apply the 1.8 m or 1.2 m limit. 2. Call the Village office (250-559-4765) to ask whether a permit is needed. ## Good to know - Commercial and industrial zones have their own buffer-fence rules. Ask the office if your lot is in one. - The Village's posted consolidation of the zoning bylaw lists amendments only to Bylaw 152-2022 (August 15, 2022), and the bylaw still uses the former name, Village of Queen Charlotte. ## Official forms and pages - [Zoning Bylaw No. 64-2013, consolidated through Bylaw 152-2022 (Village of Queen Charlotte), Village of Daajing Giids](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/25383/) - [Bylaw 182-2026, amending Siting and Use Permits Bylaw No. 102-2017 (Village of Daajing Giids)](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/48083/) ## Related questions - [Daajing Giids zoning: find your zone and what it allows](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/daajing-giids/zoning-lookup.md) - [Daajing Giids permits for decks, sheds, carports and garages](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/daajing-giids/deck-shed-garage-permit.md) ## The same question elsewhere - [Fence height limits in British Columbia, by municipality](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/fence-rules.md) - [Port Clements](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/port-clements/fence-rules.md) - [Masset](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/masset/fence-rules.md) - [Port Edward](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/port-edward/fence-rules.md) - [Prince Rupert](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/prince-rupert/fence-rules.md) - [Kitimat](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/kitimat/fence-rules.md) - [Terrace](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/terrace/fence-rules.md) ## Sources - [Zoning Bylaw No. 64-2013, consolidated through Bylaw 152-2022 (Village of Queen Charlotte), Village of Daajing Giids](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/25383/) (read 2026-11-08) - [Bylaw 182-2026, amending Siting and Use Permits Bylaw No. 102-2017 (Village of Daajing Giids)](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/48083/) (read 2026-11-08) - [Contact, Village of Daajing Giids](https://daajinggiids.ca/contact/) (read 2026-11-08) _Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 5 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 1 could not be confirmed.

It is a permitted use in the LR, RR, MFR, RO, C1 and C2 zones. We did not find it listed in the THR zone. Under section 3 (Secondary Suites): - Maximum size: 40% of the principal dwelling's gross floor area, or 85 m² (915 sq ft), whichever is less. - Minimum size: 29 m² (312 sq ft). - At most two bedrooms. - The owner must live in either the suite or the principal dwelling. - One off-street parking space for the suite (Table 1, section 10). The bylaw has no coach house or garden suite use, so the Village's posted rules do not say whether a detached suite is allowed. ## Steps 1. Confirm your zone allows a secondary suite (see the zoning-lookup answer). 2. Check the size, bedroom, owner and parking limits above. 3. Call the Village office (250-559-4765) to ask what permits apply. The [Siting and Use Permits Bylaw No. 102-2017](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/48083/) requires a Siting and Use Permit before construction or renovation, but we could not read its thresholds. ## Good to know - There is no building bylaw posted, so whether a building permit is needed is not stated. - The Village's posted consolidation of the zoning bylaw lists amendments only to Bylaw 152-2022 (August 15, 2022), and the bylaw still uses the former name, Village of Queen Charlotte. ## Official forms and pages - [Zoning Bylaw No. 64-2013, consolidated through Bylaw 152-2022 (Village of Queen Charlotte), Village of Daajing Giids](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/25383/) - [Bylaw 182-2026, amending Siting and Use Permits Bylaw No. 102-2017 (Village of Daajing Giids)](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/48083/) ## Related questions - [Daajing Giids zoning: find your zone and what it allows](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/daajing-giids/zoning-lookup.md) - [Daajing Giids short-term rental rules (Airbnb, Vrbo)](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/daajing-giids/short-term-rental.md) - [Daajing Giids permits for decks, sheds, carports and garages](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/daajing-giids/deck-shed-garage-permit.md) ## The same question elsewhere - [Secondary suite and carriage house rules in British Columbia, by municipality](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/secondary-suite.md) - [Port Clements](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/port-clements/secondary-suite.md) - [Masset](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/masset/secondary-suite.md) - [Port Edward](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/port-edward/secondary-suite.md) - [Prince Rupert](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/prince-rupert/secondary-suite.md) - [Kitimat](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/kitimat/secondary-suite.md) - [Terrace](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/terrace/secondary-suite.md) ## Sources - [Zoning Bylaw No. 64-2013, consolidated through Bylaw 152-2022 (Village of Queen Charlotte), Village of Daajing Giids](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/25383/) (read 2026-11-08) - [Bylaw 182-2026, amending Siting and Use Permits Bylaw No. 102-2017 (Village of Daajing Giids)](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/48083/) (read 2026-11-08) - [Fees, Rents and Charges Bylaw No. 180-2026 (Village of Daajing Giids)](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/47978/) (read 2026-11-08) - [Contact, Village of Daajing Giids](https://daajinggiids.ca/contact/) (read 2026-11-08) _Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 5 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 1 could not be confirmed.

The bylaw defines backyard livestock as chicken hens, goats, ducks, turkeys and similar animals. It is not listed as a permitted use in the other residential zones. The bylaw does not set a number of hens, a rule on roosters, coop setbacks, a permit or registration, or a rule on keeping bees. ## Steps 1. Find your lot's zone. See the zoning lookup answer, or ask the Village office. 2. If your lot is in the LR or RR zone, backyard livestock is permitted use under the zoning bylaw. 3. Call the Village office at 250-559-4765 to ask about hen numbers, roosters, coop placement and bees, because the bylaw does not state them. ## Good to know - In the RR zone, livestock barns, poultry houses and confined livestock areas need a 16 ha lot and must be 200 m from neighbouring homes. The bylaw does not say whether this covers small backyard flocks, so ask before you build. - Goats, ducks and turkeys count as backyard livestock under the same rule. - No dog, animal control or pet bylaw is posted by the Village, so other animal rules are not stated here. ## Official forms and pages - [Zoning Bylaw No. 64-2013 (consolidated)](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/25383/) ## Related questions - [Daajing Giids zoning: find your zone and what it allows](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/daajing-giids/zoning-lookup.md) ## The same question elsewhere - [Backyard chicken rules in British Columbia, by municipality](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/backyard-chickens.md) - [Port Clements](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/port-clements/backyard-chickens.md) - [Port Edward](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/port-edward/backyard-chickens.md) - [Prince Rupert](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/prince-rupert/backyard-chickens.md) - [Kitimat](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/kitimat/backyard-chickens.md) - [Terrace](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/terrace/backyard-chickens.md) - [Stewart](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/stewart/backyard-chickens.md) ## Sources - [Contact, Village of Daajing Giids](https://daajinggiids.ca/contact/) (read 2026-11-08) - [Village of Queen Charlotte Zoning Bylaw No. 64-2013, consolidated (PDF)](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/25383/) (read 2026-11-08) _Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 3 of 8 facts was matched to the official text; 5 are recorded as not set.

It is a permitted use in the LR, RR, THR and RO zones. Under section 3 (Home Occupations), the business must: - Be carried on only by residents of the dwelling. - Be carried on entirely inside the dwelling or a permitted accessory building. - Cause no offensive noise, odour or similar nuisance. - Have no exterior signs, outdoor storage or display, or parking of vehicles or machinery for the business. - Have no regular bulk deliveries by commercial vehicles. - Not bring more customer traffic than is customary for a residence. It cannot be automobile or machinery repair, job welding, sheet metal or a similar use. ## Steps 1. Confirm your zone allows home occupations (see the zoning-lookup answer). 2. Check your business meets the limits above. 3. Call the Village office (250-559-4765) to ask whether a licence is needed. ## Good to know - The home occupation section does not mention a business licence. A short-term rental does need one (see the short-term-rental answer). - The Village's posted consolidation of the zoning bylaw lists amendments only to Bylaw 152-2022 (August 15, 2022), and the bylaw still uses the former name, Village of Queen Charlotte. ## Official forms and pages - [Zoning Bylaw No. 64-2013, consolidated through Bylaw 152-2022 (Village of Queen Charlotte), Village of Daajing Giids](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/25383/) - [Contact, Village of Daajing Giids](https://daajinggiids.ca/contact/) ## Related questions - [Daajing Giids zoning: find your zone and what it allows](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/daajing-giids/zoning-lookup.md) - [Daajing Giids short-term rental rules (Airbnb, Vrbo)](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/daajing-giids/short-term-rental.md) ## The same question elsewhere - [Home-based business rules in British Columbia, by municipality](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/home-based-business.md) - [Port Clements](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/port-clements/home-based-business.md) - [Masset](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/masset/home-based-business.md) - [Port Edward](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/port-edward/home-based-business.md) - [Prince Rupert](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/prince-rupert/home-based-business.md) - [Kitimat](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/kitimat/home-based-business.md) - [Terrace](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/terrace/home-based-business.md) ## Sources - [Zoning Bylaw No. 64-2013, consolidated through Bylaw 152-2022 (Village of Queen Charlotte), Village of Daajing Giids](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/25383/) (read 2026-11-08) - [Contact, Village of Daajing Giids](https://daajinggiids.ca/contact/) (read 2026-11-08) _Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 4 of 5 facts was matched to the official text; 1 could not be confirmed.

It is a permitted use in the LR, RR, THR, RO, C1 and C2 zones, and we did not find it listed in the MFR zone. Under section 3, a business licence is required to operate a short-term rental, and one off-street parking space must be provided for each sleeping unit used. The Village's pages do not state the licence fee. The Province's [list of exempt communities](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/housing-tenancy/short-term-rentals/principal-residence-requirement) includes Daajing Giids, so the provincial principal residence requirement does not apply here. Hosts offering stays under 90 consecutive days must still register each unit with the Province's Short-Term Rental Registry. ## Steps 1. Check your zone allows short-term rental (see the zoning-lookup answer). 2. Call the Village office (250-559-4765) about the business licence. 3. Register with the Province's registry. 4. Provide one parking space per sleeping unit. ## Good to know - No fine for operating without a licence was found.
