The Village's Zoning Bylaw No. 464, 2015 is posted there too, with amendments Bylaw 550 (2023) and Bylaw 561 (2024). The Village does not state the date the posted copy is current to.\n\nThe Village says the Zoning Bylaw sets regulations for all types of building in the various zones, including fencing. [Bylaw 550](https://midwaybc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Bylaw-550-2023-Zoning-Amendment-signed.pdf) shows that zones also set how many dwellings and buildings are allowed on a parcel.\n\nThe posted bylaw and Bylaw 561 are scanned documents with no readable text, so the rules for each zone could not be checked here.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Open the Zoning Map on the Bylaws and Policies page and find your lot.\n2. Open the Zoning Bylaw and read the section for your zone, or ask the Village Office to confirm it.\n3. Call 250-449-2222 or email midwayreception@shaw.ca for general inquiries. No planning or zoning contact is named on the site.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- No online interactive map or address search was found on the Village website.\n- Zoning is one of several rules. A building permit may also apply (see building-permit).","sources":[{"url":"https://midwaybc.ca/bylaws-policies/","title":"Bylaws and Policies, Village of Midway","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://midwaybc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Bylaw-550-2023-Zoning-Amendment-signed.pdf","title":"Bylaw 550, 2023, Zoning Bylaw amendment (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://midwaybc.ca/staff-directory/","title":"Staff Directory, Village of Midway","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","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/midway/zoning-lookup/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/midway/zoning-lookup.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/midway/zoning-lookup.json"}}
