Surrey property FAQ
How do I look up a property's zoning in Surrey?
Enter the address above. The tool queries Surrey's public ArcGIS Planning layer where the ZONING_TEXT field carries the code (e.g. RF, RM-D) and the ZONING field is the long description. We map both to the bylaw schedule for FSR, height, coverage, and setbacks.
What is the OCP designation in Surrey?
The Surrey Official Community Plan assigns each parcel a future land-use designation (e.g. Multiple Residential, Commercial, Mixed Employment). When the OCP designates higher density than the current zoning permits, that's the signal Council may support a rezoning. The tool surfaces the OCP designation alongside the current zone.
Does Bill 44 SSMUH apply in Surrey?
Yes. Surrey is well above the 5,000-population SSMUH threshold. On lots zoned single-family or duplex the provincial floor is 3 units up to 3,014 sqft (280 m²) and 4 units above that, rising to 6 within 400 m of a prescribed frequent-transit stop. Parcels larger than 4,050 m² are exempt.
What's RF in Surrey?
RF (Single Family Residential) is Surrey's standard SFH zone — minimum lot 5,500 sqft, max coverage 40%, FSR 0.70, yard setbacks 7.5 m / 1.5 m / 7.5 m. RF-12 covers larger 13,000 sqft parcels; RF-SS covers small 3,500 sqft lots; RF-G adds garden suite allowance.
