How it works

On your own lot, the Zoning Bylaw (sections 7.2.3 and 4.17) allows in residential areas one boat up to 11.0 m, one recreational vehicle up to 14.0 m and one cargo or flat deck trailer up to 8.0 m. Vehicles outside a building must be 1.5 m back from the curb or edge of the roadway and licensed. An RV may have no skirting and no sewer hookups, and a District permit is required.

On a street, the ticket schedule lists offences for parking over 72 hours without moving, an unlicensed vehicle or trailer on a road, a commercial trailer over 2 hours, and an unattached commercial trailer on a street without a permit. The street rules are in the Traffic and Parking Bylaw.

Steps

  1. Call the District Office at 250-789-3392 to ask about the RV permit.
  2. Keep the RV, boat or trailer within the sizes above and the 1.5 m setback.
  3. Move any street-parked vehicle before 72 hours are up.
