What can I build on my Kelowna property?
Enter any City of Kelowna address. The tool shows the zoning from Zoning Bylaw 12375, the 2040 Official Community Plan future land use, the parcel boundary with lot size and dimensions, and province-wide checks: ALR, floodplain, watercourse setbacks, and BC Hydro corridors. Built on the City of Kelowna's open GIS and ParcelMap BC.
- City of Kelowna zoning from Bylaw 12375 — urban residential through multi-family, urban centre, commercial, industrial, and agricultural zones, with the bylaw description for each
- 2040 OCP future land use designation — what the City plans for the parcel, not just what it's zoned today
- Parcel boundary mapped on the aerial with lot size, dimensions, and area
- Bill 44 small-scale multi-unit housing floor where the lot qualifies
- Province-wide checks: ALR boundary (a live issue across the Okanagan), floodplain, watercourse setbacks, and BC Hydro corridors
- PID and registered plan so you can order a title search or survey from LTSA
Kelowna property FAQ
What zone is my Kelowna property?
Enter your address above. The tool reads the zone from the City of Kelowna's published GIS — Zoning Bylaw 12375 codes like RU1, MF1, or UC1 — along with the bylaw's description of the zone.
What is the difference between my zoning and the 2040 OCP designation?
Zoning is what you can build today; the 2040 Official Community Plan designation is what the City intends for the area long-term. A single-family zone inside a future multi-family OCP designation is a classic redevelopment signal. The tool shows both.
How many units can I build on a Kelowna lot?
Most single-family lots in Kelowna qualify for 3-6 units under BC's Bill 44 small-scale multi-unit housing rules, depending on lot size and proximity to frequent transit. Enter the address and the tool shows the unit floor for that specific lot.
How do I find my property lines in Kelowna?
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.
Is my Kelowna property in the ALR?
Enter the address and the tool checks the parcel against the Agricultural Land Reserve boundary — a live issue across the Okanagan, where ALR land runs through and around the city. Non-farm use of ALR land needs Agricultural Land Commission approval.
