Short answer

No parking bylaw is posted on New Hazelton's site, so street rules for RVs, boats and trailers are not stated. The zoning bylaw has no rule specific to them on residential lots, and bans living in an RV or trailer in every zone. Ask the District Office.

How it works

No parking or traffic bylaw is posted on the District of New Hazelton's bylaws page, and no official text read sets street parking rules for RVs, boats or trailers. Ask the District Office at (250) 842-6571.

On your own lot, the zoning rules (in Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 392, which reprints Zoning Bylaw No. 389, 2025) have no rule specific to RVs, boats or trailers that we found. Section 5.8 says that, unless specifically permitted, a lot may not keep more than one motor vehicle outside a building that lacks current plates or an interim licence. Farm vehicles and seasonal recreational vehicles are excepted. Unlicensed vehicles may not be stored in front of the front building line. Boats and trailers are not mentioned there, and individual zone sections were not checked.

Good to know

  • Living in a trailer, recreational vehicle, camper or other vehicle is not allowed in any zone.
  • The fines schedule lists no zoning or parking offences.
