What can I build on my Victoria property?
Enter any City of Victoria address. The tool shows the zone from the City's published zoning layer with a direct link to that zone's bylaw PDF, the parcel boundary with lot size and dimensions, and province-wide checks: watercourse setbacks, floodplain, and BC Hydro corridors. Built on the City of Victoria's open data and ParcelMap BC.
- City of Victoria zoning — from the R1 single-family family through the many site-specific CA and CD districts — with a direct link to each zone's bylaw PDF
- Parcel boundary mapped on the aerial with lot size, dimensions, and area
- Bill 44 small-scale multi-unit housing floor where the lot qualifies (Victoria also runs its own Missing Middle program)
- Province-wide checks: watercourse setbacks, floodplain, and BC Hydro corridors
- PID and registered plan so you can order a title search or survey from LTSA
Victoria property FAQ
What zone is my Victoria property?
Enter your address above. The tool reads the zone from the City of Victoria's published zoning layer and links straight to that zone's bylaw PDF on victoria.ca — useful in Victoria, where hundreds of site-specific zones make the bylaw hard to navigate by hand.
How many units can I build on a Victoria lot?
Most single-family lots qualify for 3-6 units under BC's Bill 44 small-scale multi-unit housing rules, and Victoria's own Missing Middle Housing program adds city-specific pathways for houseplexes and corner townhouses. Enter the address to see the provincial floor for that lot.
How do I find my property lines in Victoria?
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.
Why does my Victoria zone code look like CA-73 or CD-12?
Victoria makes heavy use of site-specific zones created for individual rezonings. The number identifies the specific district; the linked bylaw PDF in the report is the actual rulebook for that site.
Is the data official?
Yes. Zoning comes from the City of Victoria's open data (updated from the Planning department); parcel boundaries and PIDs come from ParcelMap BC (LTSA). Confirm details with the City before relying on them — the tool is a screening layer, not legal advice.
