[Zoning Bylaw 7600-2019](https://www.mapleridge.ca/media/file/zoning-bylaw-7600-2019), consolidated to July 28, 2026, sets for each zone the permitted principal and accessory uses and density, lot size, lot coverage, setbacks, building height, landscaping and fencing, and parking. General rules cover specific uses, siting, retaining walls and waste. The City says a Zoning Bylaw update is under way, so rules may change.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Look up your lot on RidgeView, the City's interactive lot map (see the Maps and Guides page).\n2. Open the Zoning Bylaw and read your zone's section. The Zoning Bylaw page also gives access to the zoning map.\n3. For a written answer, email Planning@MapleRidge.ca or call 604-467-7341.\n4. Or file a Land Use Inquiry application, which can give your current zoning or zoning history.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Some lots also have rules from the Official Community Plan, development permit areas or the Agricultural Land Reserve. Ask Planning if your lot may be affected.\n- The Land Use Inquiry fee is $265 before taxes.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.mapleridge.ca/build-do-business/community-planning/zoning-bylaw","title":"Zoning Bylaw, City of Maple Ridge","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.mapleridge.ca/resident-services/maps-guides","title":"Maps and Guides, City of Maple Ridge","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.mapleridge.ca/media/file/land-use-inquiry-application-guide","title":"Land Use Inquiry Application Guide (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.mapleridge.ca/media/file/zoning-bylaw-7600-2019","title":"Zoning Bylaw 7600-2019 (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.mapleridge.ca/media/file/fees-charges-consolidated-bylaw-no-7575-2019","title":"Fees and Charges (Consolidated) Bylaw No. 7575-2019 (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.mapleridge.ca/build-do-business/construction-development-permits/home-improvements","title":"Home Improvements, City of Maple Ridge","accessed":"2026-11-05"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-05","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 5 of 5 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/maple-ridge/zoning-lookup/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/maple-ridge/zoning-lookup.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/maple-ridge/zoning-lookup.json"}}
