Zoning shown from the Village of Kaslo's RDCK Public Web Map (zoning layer) data, downloaded 2026-11-08. The RDCK map layer was still drawn from the old Land Use Bylaw No. 1130 and its amendments when checked, so some lots may be shown with an old zone; the zoning map in Part 9 of Bylaw 1341 is the legal zoning map.

How it works
The Village's current Zoning Bylaw No. 1341, 2026 was adopted on September 8, 2026 and repealed Land Use Bylaw No. 1130, 2014.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 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
- Open the Zoning Bylaw and find your lot on the Part 9 zoning map.
- Read your zone's section in Part 8 for permitted uses and limits.
- If you cannot tell which zone applies, call the Village Office at 250-353-2311 or email admin@kaslo.ca.
Good to know

- The Village's OCP and Zoning Bylaw Update page still calls Bylaw 1341 a draft, but the bylaw itself records adoption. Ask the Village Office if in doubt.
