Zoning Letter

A Zoning Letter is a letter that confirms the zoning district of a property per the RM’s Zoning Bylaw No. 2019-20. It is intended to inform interested parties (i.e. property owner, property purchaser, real estate agent, lawyer, or lending institution) of the associated zoning district for an individual property. A Zoning Letter is not a Zoning Compliance Certificate since no Real Property Report is submitted for review to confirm compliance with development standards.

What does a Zoning Letter include?

A Zoning Letter includes:

• Identification of the property's zoning and a description of the intent of the zoning district; and
• A list of permitted and discretionary uses within the associated zoning district.
