Source: Village of Masset Zoning Bylaw No. 677, 2025 (published as a DRAFT), s. 12.1 (read 2026-11-08)

Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The Village posts only a draft of Bylaw 677 ("Adopted: Month XX, 2025"), which would repeal Zoning Bylaw No. 422, 1994. No adopted version or copy of Bylaw 422 was found on the Village site, so adoption status must be confirmed. Table 8.1 lists a Manufactured Home Park (MHP) zone and different codes for the multi-unit and mixed residential zones than the section headings; this list follows the section headings and has no MHP section. Zone pages are taken from the bylaw text by a research agent and have not yet been reviewed by a person: confirm with the bylaw before you rely on them. How answers are checked.
