We Help Uncover the Full Potential of Your Property
British Columbia’s new housing legislation opens up incredible opportunities for homeowners — but figuring out what’s actually permitted on your specific lot is still surprisingly complex.
Years of frustration as property owners
in BC is why we launched BC Zoning — the service we wished we had for our family property when we needed it.

We Answer the Questions Every Homeowner is Asking –What Can We Actually Build Here?
Multi-Unit Housing
BC’s new small-scale multi-unit rules may allow a duplex, triplex, or fourplex on your lot — but zoning permissions are only half the picture. We confirm what your title actually allows before you spend a dollar on design.
Single-Family Build or Reno
Before you commit to hiring an architect or contractor, it pays to know exactly what setbacks, height limits, and site coverage apply to your property. No surprises during design or permit — just clear answers from the start.
Laneway House or Garden Suite
Laneway homes and garden suites are now permitted on most RS-zoned lots across BC — but easements, rights of way, and registered covenants can quietly block your plans. We check both before you move forward.
Multi-Generational
Adding a dedicated space for family is one of the smartest personal and financial moves any homeowner can make. We tell you exactly what your zoning and title allow — so you can plan and move forward with confidence.
Not sure what’s possible on your property? Confused by BC’s new housing rules? We understand —the zoning regulations are complex and every property is different.

James & Vanessa Milton
Kamloops, BC
Clear, fast, and genuinely useful. We finally understood what we actually owned. This report gave us the confidence to move forward and design a new laneway house for our aging parents. We are breaking ground this Spring!
Tony Wilkes
Real Estate Agent, Vancouver BC
I’ve been recommending BC Zoning to every client considering a purchase with development potential. The combined zoning and title report is exactly what agents need to have an honest conversation about what a property can actually support.
D. Mackenzie
North Saanich, Vancouver Island
When we started looking into converting our property in Saanich, we got different answers from everyone we talked to. City planners, our contractor, the surveyor. We spent two months going in circles without getting any closer to a straight answer.
We ordered a BC Zoning report mostly out of frustration. It laid out exactly what our zoning permitted, flagged issues with our builder’s original plan, and — most importantly — identified a registered covenant on our title that city planning never mentioned.
We’re now finally under construction on the new duplex plus a garden suite our family wanted from the start. Because this report flagged the issues early, we avoided a complicated zoning variance that could have completely blown our schedule or budget. Get the report first before you talk to anyone else — it would have saved us months!
