How it works

Silverton's rules are in Zoning Bylaw No. 563, 2026, adopted September 11, 2026. It repealed Zoning Bylaw No. 466, 2011.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.

The Village has four zones: R-1, C-1, I-1 and P-1.

Your 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.

Steps

  1. Open the Zoning Bylaw and its Schedule B map and find your parcel.
  2. Read your zone's section for permitted uses, setbacks and height.
  3. Call or email the Village Office to confirm before you buy, build or start a business.

Good to know

  • The RDCK issues building permits separately; see the building-permit answer.
  • The posted text carries a "DRAFT 2026" header, but the adopting bylaw is signed as adopted. Confirm with the Village.
