Land Use Bylaws
Review development-related bylaws early in your development application process.
There are several bylaws and policies that regulate building and land development in Surrey. Development projects that comply with these guidelines and requirements help our City grow while meeting our sustainability objectives.
For example, Surrey's Zoning Bylaw 12000 contains the regulations for each type of zoning in Surrey. All properties in Surrey have a legal zoning classification that specifies the types of buildings allowed, the uses or activities that can take place on that property, and other regulations including building size, siting on the property, parking, how close you can build next to a watershed, and more.
