(Sources differ: The Village's OCP and Zoning Bylaw Update page still labels Bylaw 1341 a 'DRAFT'. The bylaw text, posted in the Bylaws folder, records adoption on September 8, 2026, and the Development page links it as the Zoning Bylaw. The bylaw wins. Older documents (Business Licence Bylaw, ticket schedule) still refer to Land Use Bylaw 1130.)

## How it works

The Village's current [Zoning Bylaw No. 1341, 2026](https://kaslo.civicweb.net/document/15785/) was adopted on September 8, 2026 and repealed Land Use Bylaw No. 1130, 2014. Part 9 holds the zoning map, and the Village's [Business & Development page](https://www.kaslo.ca/p/building-development) lists zoning maps. No online address-search map was found.

A zone controls permitted uses (principal and secondary), subdivision size, lot coverage, number of dwelling units, building height and storeys, and setbacks. For example, R-1 allows 40% lot coverage, up to 4 dwelling units, 10.0 m height and 3 storeys. The zones are R-1, R-2, RM-1, RM-1A, C-1 to C-4, AERO, M-1, P-1 and P-2.

## Steps

1. Open the Zoning Bylaw and find your lot on the Part 9 zoning map.
2. Read your zone's section in Part 8 for permitted uses and limits.
3. If you cannot tell which zone applies, call the Village Office at 250-353-2311 or email admin@kaslo.ca.

## Good to know

- A zoning verification or compliance letter costs $90.
- The Village's [OCP and Zoning Bylaw Update page](https://www.kaslo.ca/p/ocp-and-zoning-bylaw-update) still calls Bylaw 1341 a draft, but the bylaw itself records adoption. Ask the Village Office if in doubt.
- Some older Village documents still refer to the repealed Land Use Bylaw 1130.
