Smithers property FAQ
What zone is my Smithers property?
Enter your address above. The tool reads the zone from the regional GIS that carries Town of Smithers Zoning Bylaw 1403 — codes like C-1A (Downtown Commercial) or R-4 with the full designation for each.
How many units can I build on a Smithers lot?
Most single-family lots in BC qualify for a minimum of 3 units under Bill 44 small-scale multi-unit housing rules: 3 on a lot up to 3,014 sqft (280 m²) and 4 above that, subject to servicing. Parcels larger than 4,050 m² are exempt. Enter the address and the tool shows the floor for that lot.
How do I find my property lines in Smithers?
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 Smithers property in the ALR?
Enter the address and the tool checks the parcel against the Agricultural Land Reserve boundary — much of the Bulkley Valley around town is ALR land, where non-farm use needs Agricultural Land Commission approval.
