Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. This consolidation is old. Many later amendments are separate documents in the District's zoning bylaw folder (https://invermere.civicweb.net/filepro/documents/111) and are not in this text, including Bylaw 1654 (short-term rentals), 1662 (CDZ-6), 1670 (CDZ-7), 1676 (CastleRock Phase 5), 1685 (R6 multi-family infill zone), 1686 (secondary suites) and 1691 (2026). The District's online bylaws are for information only; the Clerk's office has the official versions. Zone pages are taken from the bylaw text by a research agent and have not yet been reviewed by a person: confirm with the bylaw before you rely on them. How answers are checked.
