Zones in Maple Ridge

From Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019 (consolidated to July 28, 2026). Consolidated PDF with a list of amending bylaws at the end. Residential sections 601 to 604 and 615 are deleted by Bylaw 8104-2026; CD sections 1037, 1038, 1043, 1044 and 1046 to 1049 are held for future zones (no text). Zone section numbers are the bylaw's 3 to 4 digit section numbers. The City's map still carries old Bylaw 3510 zones (R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, RT-1) on some lots, which are not part of Bylaw 7600. Each zone has its own page with its uses, lot sizes, heights and setbacks. Zone pages are drafts taken from the bylaw text and not yet reviewed by a person.

How it works

Every property in the City of Maple Ridge has a zone. 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.

Steps

  1. Look up your lot on RidgeView, the City's interactive lot map (see the Maps and Guides page).
  2. Open the Zoning Bylaw and read your zone's section. The Zoning Bylaw page also gives access to the zoning map.
  3. For a written answer, email Planning@MapleRidge.ca or call 604-467-7341.
  4. Or file a Land Use Inquiry application, which can give your current zoning or zoning history.

Good to know

  • 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.
  • The Land Use Inquiry fee is $265 before taxes.
