The City says current zoning is found on its Parcel Information Map, on the Mapping page under Interactive maps. The Mapping page also links a PDF Zoning Bylaw 300 Map. ## Steps 1. Open the Parcel Information Map from the City's Mapping page and look up your property. The City does not describe the steps in detail. 2. Note your zone, then read that zone's rules in Zoning Bylaw No. 300. 3. Confirm with the Planning Department (250-478-7882) before you design or buy. ## Good to know - The Zoning Bylaw is the document that sets the rules; the maps only show which zone applies. - The City's pages we read do not state how long a zoning enquiry takes. - Other approvals, such as building permits, are separate. ## Zones 100 zones are listed from [Zoning Bylaw No. 300, 1999 (consolidated 5 Oct 2026)](https://langford.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Zoning-Bylaw-20240415-1.pdf).
