It repealed Zoning Bylaw No. 466, 2011. The zone of each parcel is shown on the Zoning Map, Schedule B of the bylaw, which is posted with the bylaw in the Village's civicweb Silverton Bylaws folder. We found no interactive online zoning map on silverton.ca.\n\nThe Village has four zones: R-1, C-1, I-1 and P-1.\n\nYour zone controls permitted uses, setbacks, parcel area and coverage, building height, parking and outdoor storage. The bylaw also covers home occupations, short-term rentals and development permit areas.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Open the Zoning Bylaw and its Schedule B map and find your parcel.\n2. Read your zone's section for permitted uses, setbacks and height.\n3. Call or email the Village Office to confirm before you buy, build or start a business.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- The RDCK issues building permits separately; see the building-permit answer.\n- The posted text carries a \"DRAFT 2026\" header, but the adopting bylaw is signed as adopted. Confirm with the Village.","sources":[{"url":"https://silverton.civicweb.net/document/22147/","title":"Zoning Bylaw No. 563, 2026, Village of Silverton","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://silverton.ca/ocpupdate","title":"OCP and Zoning Bylaw Update, Village of Silverton","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/silverton/zoning-lookup/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/silverton/zoning-lookup.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/silverton/zoning-lookup.json"}}
