Port Moody property FAQ
How do I check zoning in Port Moody?
Enter the address above. The tool queries Port Moody's public zoning layer for the zone code and matches it against the Zoning Bylaw 2937 schedule for FSR, height, coverage, and setbacks.
What is the FSR in Port Moody's RS1 zone?
RS1 (Single Detached Residential) carries a 0.5 FAR, with the SSMUH provisions allowing 0.7 to 1.0 for 3 to 6 units. The small-lot RS1-S zone is 0.7. Height is the lesser of 3 storeys and 10.5 m for a pitched roof, or 9.0 m flat.
Does Bill 44 SSMUH apply in Port Moody?
Yes. Port Moody adopted compliance bylaws and publishes an SSMUH Areas map identifying which RS and RT lots are entitled to the 3 to 6 unit forms. The tool reports the provincial unit floor; confirm the per-lot entitlement against the City map.
Are creek setbacks a big deal in Port Moody?
Yes. Several creeks (Noons, Mossom, and others) drain to Burrard Inlet and carry salmon, so provincial riparian setbacks of 15 to 30 m apply under the RAPR framework. The tool flags mapped watercourses within 30 m of the parcel.
