- City of Chilliwack zoning from the City's published GIS — residential through commercial, industrial, and agricultural zones

- Fraser River and Sumas floodplain flags — front of mind since the 2021 flood — plus watercourse setbacks
- Parcel boundary mapped on the aerial with lot size, dimensions, and area
- Bill 44 small-scale multi-unit housing floor where the urban lot qualifies
- PID and registered plan so you can order a title search or survey from LTSA
Chilliwack property FAQ
What zone is my Chilliwack property?
Enter your address above. The tool reads the zone code from the City of Chilliwack's published GIS — for example R1 for single-family residential — for any address in the city.
Is my Chilliwack property in the floodplain?
Enter the address and the tool checks provincial floodplain mapping. Large parts of the valley floor — Sumas Prairie especially — are mapped floodplain, which affects building elevations, insurance, and financing.
Is my Chilliwack property in the ALR?
The tool checks the parcel against the Agricultural Land Reserve boundary. Much of Chilliwack outside the urban core is ALR, where non-farm use needs Agricultural Land Commission approval.
How many units can I build on a Chilliwack lot?
Urban single-family lots generally qualify for 3-6 units under BC's Bill 44 small-scale multi-unit housing rules, depending on lot size and transit proximity. Enter the address and the tool shows the unit floor for that lot.
How do I find my property lines in Chilliwack?
The tool draws the parcel boundary from ParcelMap BC over an aerial photo and labels the lot dimensions and area. Accurate to about a metre; order the registered survey plan from LTSA for exact bearings.
