This map utilizes a simplified viewing layer of Taxlots 2 (Public), with any Personally Identifiable Information removed. Popups for parcels provide web links to Vancouver Municipal Code (VMC) statute definitions of the zoning classification of the parcel as well as zoning code and class information.Zoning categories are grouped by City of Vancouver Comprehensive Plan designations, and relate to allowable activities and uses of land and property parcels as defined in the VMC.

This dataset consists of zoning polygons throughout the City and labels describing them.Zoning regulates the development of property in Vancouver by encouraging land use and building in accordance with community goals and visions for the future of Vancouver and its neighbourhoods. The city is divided into many development zones, with each zone further broken down into districts. The Zoning Development Bylaw describes each district and its list of permitted uses and regulations. Some districts are scattered across the city, while others are found only in a single neighbourhood or local area.​ Data currencyThis data in City systems is updated frequently in the normal course of business, however priorities and resources determine how fast a change in reality is reflected in the database.

Uses zoning regulations for City of Vancouver and Washington State related to zoning of cannabis retail and production facilities to create an interactive map showing properties within the City Limits that may potentially be available for application to be a site for marijuana-related business. Uses property information layers from Clark County GIS, business information data from the State of Washington Office of Finance, and regulations defined in City code to create layers found in the underlying map (of the same name).

Building lines, as described in Schedule "E" of the Zoning and Development Bylaw, regulate building placement on affected lots to allow for potential long-term street widening or, in some cases, preservation of open spaces. Generally, development is prohibited within that portion of the lot covered by the building line and additional building setbacks from the building line may be required by the zoning specific to the lot.

​This dataset contains information on properties from BC Assessment (BCA) and City sources from 2020.To limit the size of individual datasets, we segmented the property tax data into multiple datasets. See ​all ​property tax datasets​ for data since 2006

The Property Use Inspections Branch enforces a number of bylaws. In addition, inspectors serve on "Neighbourhood Integrated Service Teams", and also enforce a number of other programs, such as the Secondary Suite Program. The division has come to be a catch-all for solving community problems of many types. Inspectors are assigned a field district and are responsible for all bylaw enforcement in that district. In particular, the City of Vancouver is divided into 23 Property Use Inspection Districts. Each district is unique, depending on the type of neighbourhood and the types of issues that typically arise there. The bylaw enforcement conducted by this branch normally results from complaints, re-check of permit conditions, or routine observation by the inspectors. Enforcement is carried out by the issuing of letters and orders relating to bylaw violations, which may ultimately result in charges being laid through the Bylaw Prosecutor's office or "Show Cause Hearings" held before Council. The Bylaws that the Property Use Inspectors enforce are the following: Zoning and Development Bylaw No. 3575Parking Bylaw No. 6059License Bylaw No. 4450Standards of Maintenance Bylaw No. 5462Sign Bylaw No. 4810Untidy Premises Bylaw No. 4548 Data currencyThe extract for this dataset is updated weekly.

Metro Vancouver’s 2016 Generalized Land Use has no official status. It is neither a zoning nor an Official Community Plan map but rather a serves as a ‘regional reference map’ that depicts land activities existing in fall 2016. The 2016 Generalized Land Use is intended to provide a consistent interpretation of on-the-ground land development activity across the Metro Vancouver’s member municipalities, electoral area, and First Nation territories. Based on British Columbia Assessment Authority parcel data, aerial photograph interpretation plus other land data information, land use activities were categorized into one of the twenty-nine classifications defined below. Metro Vancouver’s 2016 Generalized Land Use map was compiled using a consistent interpretation of all available information. Every effort was made to depict land use activities accurately and consistently across all of the region’s municipalities. Land use classifications were assigned at the municipal cadastre geography wherein each parcel was assigned one single land use classification. Exceptions to this rule occurred in instances where cadastre lots clearly had more than one discrete land use activity which did not fit into one single classification thus requiring the cadastre lot to be split to accommodate multiple land use activities. Exceptions included: hydro right-of-way corridors and school properties (school buildings were classified as ‘Health and Education’ and playing fields coded as ‘Recreation, Open Space and Protected Natural Areas’).
