The [draft Zoning Bylaw No. 677](http://massetbc.com/images/uploads/pdfs/677_DRAFT_Village_of_Masset_Zoning_Bylaw_-_FINAL.pdf) is not shown to be adopted: its cover reads "Adopted: Month XX, 2025", and it says it repeals Zoning Bylaw No. 422, 1994.

Ask Municipal Hall (250-626-3995, 1686 Main Street, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) to confirm your zone and what is in force. ## Good to know - The Village does not say which staff member answers zoning questions. - There is no online address search on the pages we read. ## Zones 17 zones are listed from [Village of Masset Zoning Bylaw No. 677, 2025 (published as a DRAFT)](http://massetbc.com/images/uploads/pdfs/677_DRAFT_Village_of_Masset_Zoning_Bylaw_-_FINAL.pdf).
