# Pouce Coupe zoning: find your zone and what it allows

**Question:** How do I find out how my property is zoned and what I can build on it in Pouce Coupe?

**Short answer:** In Pouce Coupe, find your zone on the Zoning Map (Schedule B of Zoning Bylaw No. 1093, 2026), a PDF posted on the Village's website. No online parcel look-up tool is mentioned. For how zoning applies to your property, call the Village Office at 250-786-5794.

**Who handles it:** Municipal (Village of Pouce Coupe, https://www.poucecoupe.ca)  
**Cost:** Not stated for looking up zoning.  
**How long:** Not stated.  
**Where:**
- In person: Village Office, 5011 49th Avenue, Pouce Coupe, BC (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)
- Phone: Village Office, 250-786-5794
- Email: Village Office, info@poucecoupe.ca

## Key facts

- **How to find your zone:** The Village posts the current 2026 Zoning Map as a PDF (Schedule B of Bylaw 1093) on its Zoning Bylaw 1093 page. No online parcel look-up tool is mentioned; contact the municipal office for how zoning applies to your property. (Sources differ: The Village's older Zoning page (/government/planning/zoning/) still shows a 2022 map image and refers to Zoning Bylaw No. 1010, 2017, so it is out of date. Parcel and boundary data on that page came from the Peace River Regional District (2016).)

- **Zoning bylaw:** Village of Pouce Coupe Zoning Bylaw No. 1093, 2026, with Schedule B (Zoning Bylaw Map; Bylaw 1091). First reading July 15, 2026; third reading September 9, 2026; Ministry of Transportation and Transit approval September 21, 2026. It repeals Zoning Bylaw No. 1058, 2024. The Village announced it on October 16, 2026. (Sources differ: The adoption date prints garbled in the PDF text layer. The List of Amendments in the posted copy is empty. Conflict: the Village's Building Permits page still lists "Bylaw 1058 - Zoning Bylaw" and the Zoning page says Bylaw 1010, 2017; the MTI Bylaw 1052 schedule cites Zoning Bylaw 1058 (and 1010 in Schedule A) so its section numbers may not match Bylaw 1093.)

## How it works

The Village of Pouce Coupe's current rules are in [Zoning Bylaw No. 1093, 2026](https://poucecoupe.civicweb.net/document/52625/), with the Zoning Map as Schedule B (Map Bylaw No. 1091). It repeals Zoning Bylaw No. 1058, 2024, and the Village announced it on October 16, 2026. Both are posted on the Village's [Zoning Bylaw 1093](https://poucecoupe.ca/zoning-bylaw-1093/) page.

Each zone (A-1, R-1, R-2, C-1, C-2, M-1, P-1, P-2, CD-1) lists the permitted principal and accessory uses and sets minimum parcel size and width, setbacks, building height and parcel coverage. A use not listed in a zone is prohibited.

## Steps

1. Open the Zoning Map PDF on the Village's Zoning Bylaw 1093 page and find your parcel.
2. Read your zone's section in the bylaw for uses, setbacks, height and coverage.
3. Call or visit the Village Office, 5011 49th Avenue, with your address to confirm how zoning applies.

## Good to know

- No online parcel look-up tool is mentioned.
- The Village's older Zoning page still shows a 2022 map and refers to Zoning Bylaw No. 1010, 2017. It is out of date; use Bylaw 1093.
