  • Parcel boundary mapped on the aerial with lot size, dimensions, and area
  • Bill 44 small-scale multi-unit housing floor where the lot qualifies
  • Columbia River floodplain flags plus watercourse setbacks

Trail property FAQ

What zone is my Trail property?

Enter your address above. The tool reads the zone from the Kootenay Boundary regional GIS that carries the City of Trail's Zoning Bylaw 2503 — codes like C1 (General Commercial) or R1 (Large Lot Residential) with the bylaw's name for each.

How many units can I build on a Trail 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.

Is my Trail property in the floodplain?

Enter the address and the tool checks provincial floodplain mapping — relevant along the Columbia River corridor through Trail.

How do I find my property lines in Trail?

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.
