## How it works

The District of Hudson's Hope says that you may need a building permit to construct, alter, reconstruct, demolish, remove or relocate any building or structure, including excavation and other construction work. Its [Building Inspection page](https://hudsonshope.ca/business/building-inspection/) lists typical projects: new homes, decks, new fireplaces, porches, carports, attached or detached garages, one or two storey additions, plumbing and drains, structural changes to windows or doors, adding or removing walls, basement or main floor walkouts, and second dwelling units. The rules come from Building Bylaw 741, 2008, which is posted as a scanned image that cannot be read, so the page does not list jobs that are exempt. Ask the District before you start.

## Steps

1. Complete the Building Permit Application Package (a PDF on the Building Inspection page), or ask the District Office for it.
2. In the R1, R2, commercial and industrial zones, include a detailed landscape plan. [Zoning Bylaw No. 949](https://hudsonshope.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/2024-06-07-Zoning-Bylaw-No.-949-Clean-Version-with-Maps-ORIGINAL-SIGNED-BY-2.pdf) requires $500 in security (cash or a letter of credit) when the permit is issued.
3. Email buildingpermit@hudsonshope.ca or call 250-783-9901 with questions or to submit.
4. During construction, contact the District Office yourself to book inspections. The application package sets out which inspections are needed.

## Good to know

- The District's page does not state a processing time or fees. See the building-permit-fees answer.
- A building permit is separate from zoning rules on where and how big you can build.

## How it works

Fence heights in Hudsons Hope are set by [Zoning Bylaw No. 949](https://hudsonshope.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/2024-06-07-Zoning-Bylaw-No.-949-Clean-Version-with-Maps-ORIGINAL-SIGNED-BY-2.pdf), section 4.6. Height is measured from natural ground level to the top of the fence.

- **C1 zone, RU1 zone and any R-zone:** no more than 1.2 m in a front yard, and no more than 1.8 m in a side or rear yard.
- **C2 zone and any M-zone:** fences up to 4 m. A landscape screen or fence at least 1.8 m high is required along any line next to RU1, R-zones, P-zones or the OR zone.
- Fences around cemeteries, playgrounds, parks, playfields and school areas may be up to 4 m.

The bylaw gives no fence height for the RU2 or RU3 zones. Ask the District.

## Steps

1. Find your zone on the Zoning Bylaw map (see the zoning-lookup answer).
2. Check the height limits above, and the corner rule below if you are on a corner.
3. Call the District Office at 250-783-9901 to confirm whether a building permit is needed, since the Building Bylaw cannot be read online.

## Good to know

- The [Official Community Plan](https://hudsonshope.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/01-Bylaw-822-CONSOLIDATED-Official-Community-Plan-for-website.pdf) exempts "erection of a sign or a fence" from a development permit in its development permit areas. The [Building Inspection page](https://hudsonshope.ca/business/building-inspection/) does not list fences, and a building permit requirement could not be confirmed.
- Fences are exempt from yard setbacks.
- Corner parcels: within the area formed by the curb lines 5 m from the point of intersection, nothing (landscaping, screening, building or structure) may be higher than 1 m above the established grade of the street.
- Required fencing must be kept uniform, intact and upright with no gaps. Junkyards need a 2.4 m solid wooden or hedged chain-link fence.
- A pool is exempt from setbacks only if it is not in a front yard, is 3 m from side and rear lines, and is fenced.
- The bylaw's penalty schedule lists "over height fence" and "obstructing corner vision" at $100 per offence per day.

## How it works

The District of Hudson's Hope's [Building Inspection page](https://hudsonshope.ca/business/building-inspection/) lists decks, carports and attached or detached garages among typical projects that require a building permit, though it words this as "may need". It does not mention sheds and states no height or size threshold. Building Bylaw 741, 2008 is a scan that cannot be read, so call before you build.

Zoning rules apply either way. Under [Zoning Bylaw No. 949](https://hudsonshope.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/2024-06-07-Zoning-Bylaw-No.-949-Clean-Version-with-Maps-ORIGINAL-SIGNED-BY-2.pdf), section 4.9, an accessory building (such as a shed or detached garage):

- cannot be used as a dwelling or sleeping unit and needs a principal building on the parcel;
- must be 3 m from the principal building and 1.5 m from other accessory buildings;
- is exempt from yard setbacks;
- in RU1 and R-zones, can have a floor area of at most 75 m² or 20% of the parcel, and cannot be in front of the rear building line;
- in RU1 and R1, can be up to 5 m high, with up to 3 buildings.

## Steps

1. Check your zone (see the zoning-lookup answer), since limits differ by zone.
2. Call 250-783-9901 or email buildingpermit@hudsonshope.ca to ask whether your project needs a permit.
3. If it does, follow the building-permit answer.

## Good to know

- A detached carport or garage that opens onto a lane must be at least 2 m from the lane.
- Uncovered patios and sundecks may project up to 2.4 m into a required yard.
- Accessory buildings count toward parcel coverage (33% in R1, 40% in RU1).

## How it works

[Zoning Bylaw No. 949](https://hudsonshope.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/2024-06-07-Zoning-Bylaw-No.-949-Clean-Version-with-Maps-ORIGINAL-SIGNED-BY-2.pdf) allows a secondary suite as an accessory use in the RU1, RU2, RU3, R1, R1A, R1B and R2 zones, only inside the principal single-detached dwelling (not in a duplex or on a parcel with a duplex). The same zones allow an "accessory dwelling unit", a self-contained unit that is an accessory use to a principal building on the same property, as an alternative. You can have one secondary suite or one accessory dwelling unit per parcel, not both. The bylaw does not use the words "coach house" or "garden suite".

## Steps

1. Check that your zone is one of those listed (see the zoning-lookup answer).
2. Confirm the owner will live in the principal dwelling.
3. Plan one parking space on the parcel for the suite.
4. Ask the District Office (250-783-9901) about a building permit. The [Building Inspection page](https://hudsonshope.ca/business/building-inspection/) lists "second dwelling units" among projects that may need one.

## Good to know

- The suite must meet BC Building Code requirements for secondary suites.
- No strata titling. A suite cannot be combined with boarders or a bed and breakfast.
- The bylaw states no maximum suite size.
- Basements are not permitted in accessory dwelling units, which can be up to 8 m high in the zone tables.
- An ordinary accessory building such as a shed cannot be used as a dwelling.

## How it works

The [Traffic Bylaw No. 925, 2022](https://hudsonshope.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/01-Traffic-Bylaw-No.-925-2022_Redacted.pdf) bars parking a motor vehicle or trailer on a highway for more than 72 hours. Commercial vehicles may not park overnight on streets in residential areas. It also bans parking within 6 m of crosswalks and intersections, within 5 m of hydrants, and in front of driveways.

On private property, the [Zoning Bylaw No. 949, 2024](https://hudsonshope.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/2024-06-07-Zoning-Bylaw-No.-949-Clean-Version-with-Maps-ORIGINAL-SIGNED-BY-2.pdf) says that in any R zone or the RU1 zone no one may park or store a boat or trailer outside a building, except one boat up to 11 m long and one recreational vehicle up to 14 m body length.

## Good to know

- Parking breaches of the Traffic Bylaw: $25 if paid within 14 days, $75 after 15 days. Other Traffic Bylaw offences carry a fine of up to $350 on conviction.
- Zoning offences such as unlawful land use or a prohibited commercial vehicle: $100 per offence per day. The bylaw names no offence for a stored RV or boat, so ask the District which applies.
- No rule was found on living in an RV on a street or lot.
- Amendments to the Traffic Bylaw (931 and 952) are scanned and were not read.

## How it works

The District of Hudson's Hope issues business licences. Its [Business Licences page](https://hudsonshope.ca/business/business-license-info/) does not say in plain words who must hold one. The printable form names Business Licence Bylaw No. 504, 1994, which is not posted in the District's bylaw library. The Zoning Bylaw requires home occupations to follow it. A licence is valid for one calendar year, January 1 to December 31.

## Steps

1. Apply online with the [Business License Application Form](https://hudsonshope.ca/business/business-license-info/business-licence-application-form-2026/), pick up an application at the District Office, or download the printable application and submit it there. The online form asks about signage and building improvements (a building permit may be required) and, for leased premises, owner consent.
2. The District approves the application.
3. Once approved and the $50 fee is paid, the licence is issued. Licences issued after January 31 are pro-rated for the remaining months of the year.
4. A renewal invoice is sent at the beginning of each year.

## Good to know

- Contact: Kelsey Shewfelt, Recreation Officer, 250-783-9901 Ext. 203.
- The fee schedule by business type is not posted, so $50 may not apply to every type.
- The District's library lists an Inter-Community Business License Bylaw 878, 2017. It is a scanned image, so its coverage and fee could not be read.
- Running a home occupation without a licence is listed at $100 per offence per day. No ticket amount was found for other businesses.

# Hudson's Hope short-term rental rules (Airbnb, Vrbo)

**Question:** Can I rent out my home or a room on Airbnb in Hudsons Hope?

**Short answer:** Maybe. Hudsons Hope's Zoning Bylaw has no short-term rental use and bars any use it does not list, but it allows owner-occupied bed and breakfasts. Hudsons Hope is exempt from the Province's principal residence rule, but hosts must still register provincially if stays are under 90 consecutive days.

**Who handles it:** More than one level of government  
**Cost:** Provincial registration is $100 a year for your principal residence and $450 for a secondary unit. The District's business licence page states a $50 fee and does not mention rentals.  
**How long:** Not stated.  
**Where:**
- Phone: District Office, 250-783-9901
- In person: Municipal Hall, 9904 Dudley Drive, Hudson's Hope, BC V0C 1V0 (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed statutory holidays)
- Online: Provincial short-term rental rules, https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/housing-tenancy/short-term-rentals/principal-residence-requirement

## Key facts

- **Allowed:** The Zoning Bylaw has no short-term rental use and says any use not expressly permitted is prohibited. It does allow bed and breakfasts (owner-occupied single-detached dwelling, up to 3 guestrooms and 6 adult guests, stays of at most 28 consecutive days) as an accessory use in the RU1, RU2, RU3, R1, R1A, R1B and R2 zones. Lodges and cabins for tourist accommodation are permitted in the OR zone.

## How it works

The [Zoning Bylaw](https://hudsonshope.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/2024-06-07-Zoning-Bylaw-No.-949-Clean-Version-with-Maps-ORIGINAL-SIGNED-BY-2.pdf) has no short-term rental use and says any use not expressly permitted is prohibited in every zone. There is no separate short-term rental bylaw in the District's library, and the bylaw does not say whether renting a whole home is allowed, so ask the District before listing.

The bylaw does allow a bed and breakfast as an accessory use in the RU1, RU2, RU3, R1, R1A, R1B and R2 zones. Lodges and cabins for tourist accommodation are permitted in the OR zone.

Provincially, Hudson's Hope is on the list of communities exempt from the [principal residence requirement](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/housing-tenancy/short-term-rentals/principal-residence-requirement). Provincial registration still applies to rentals under 90 consecutive days.

## Steps

1. Call the District Office at 250-783-9901 to ask whether your rental fits the zoning.
2. Ask whether a business licence applies. The [business licence page](https://hudsonshope.ca/business/business-license-info/) does not mention rentals; its general fee is $50.
3. Register with the Province if you rent for fewer than 90 consecutive days.

## Good to know

- Bed and breakfast rules (Zoning s. 4.14): the owner lives in the single-detached dwelling; no more than 3 guestrooms and 6 adult guests; breakfast is the only meal; one parking space per guestroom in addition to the dwelling's; sign no larger than 1 m²; stays of at most 28 consecutive days; bedrooms for sleeping only, with no cooking facilities.
- Provincial registration fees: $100 a year for a principal residence unit, $450 a year for a secondary unit.
- No penalty is specific to short-term rentals. The Zoning Bylaw lists "unlawful land use" at $100 per offence per day.
