How it works
The Village of McBride posts a Zoning Map (Schedule B to the zoning bylaw) as a PDF on its OCP and Zoning page. Staff can confirm a property's current zoning. No online address search is described.
Each property has a zoning classification that sets permitted uses and density, setbacks, parcel coverage and building height, off-street parking, loading and landscaping, home occupations, fence height and auxiliary buildings, and minimum parcel size.
Steps
- Open the Zoning Map on the Village's OCP and Zoning page and find your property.
- Call the Village Office at 250-569-2229 or email mcbride@mcbride.ca to confirm the zone and what is allowed.
- Check whether your project also needs a building permit (see the building-permit answer).
Good to know
- The website still names Zoning Bylaw No. 703, consolidated 2023. The bylaw library lists Zoning Bylaw No. 839, 2026, posted Sept. 25, 2026. The Village does not say which is in force or what date the copy is current to. Confirm with staff.
- The zone rules themselves could not be read, so this page does not state them.
