It repeals Zoning Bylaw No. 585, 2012. Zone boundaries are shown on the Zoning Maps (Schedules B to E) attached to the bylaw, which the District's [Zoning page](https://www.districtoftumblerridge.ca/p/zoning) posts as a PDF. We found no online map or address search.\n\nYour zone controls which uses are permitted, density, parcel size and frontage, building height, setbacks, parcel coverage and off-street parking. Part 6 of the bylaw sets dimensional standards in Table 6-1, and Part 7 sets parking.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Open the Zoning Bylaw PDF and find your parcel on the Zoning Maps (Schedules B to E).\n2. Read the rules for your zone, including Table 6-1.\n3. If you cannot find your parcel, call Town Hall (250-242-4242). The District's page refers development questions to the Community Development Officer.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Development permit area maps are available for viewing at Town Hall.\n- The Economic & Community Development email is edo@dtr.ca.\n- The Municipal Ticket Information Bylaw still lists a zoning offence under the repealed Bylaw No. 585, so confirm which bylaw applies.","sources":[{"url":"https://tumblerridge.civicweb.net/document/66310/","title":"Zoning Bylaw No. 747, 2025 (PDF), District of Tumbler Ridge","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.districtoftumblerridge.ca/p/zoning","title":"Zoning, District of Tumbler Ridge","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.districtoftumblerridge.ca/p/guidelines-permits","title":"Guidelines & Permits, District of Tumbler Ridge","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.districtoftumblerridge.ca/p/development-planning","title":"Development & Planning, District of Tumbler Ridge","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.districtoftumblerridge.ca/p/community-profile","title":"Tumbler Ridge - Community Profile","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/tumbler-ridge/zoning-lookup/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/tumbler-ridge/zoning-lookup.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/tumbler-ridge/zoning-lookup.json"}}
