Zoning Letters & Compliance Certificates

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.

Zoning Compliance Certificate

A Zoning Compliance Certificate is a document that confirms zoning and development information and the permit history of an individual property. A Zoning Compliance Certificate is intended to convey important information to potential purchasers or other interested parties of site development standards, building compliance, and permitted/discretionary uses within the associated zoning district.

What does a Zoning Compliance Certificate include?

A Zoning Compliance Certificate includes:

  • Identification of the property’s zoning and a description of the intent of the zoning district;
  • A list of permitted and discretionary uses within the associated zoning district;
  • An itemized list of permits the RM has issued for the property, including the permit number, the issue date, and a description of the status of each permit;
  • Confirmation of development compliance with municipal bylaws;
  • Identification of any orders that have been issued for the property; and
  • Identification of any other items deemed important.

Note: A Zoning Compliance Certificate reflects the results of existing RM records ONLY and is provided for general information purposes.
