Zoning decides what types of land use are allowed in different parts of town. The pdf Land Use By-law(9.54 MB) explains the rules for each zone, including what you can build, how you can use a property, and any special conditions. Use the interactive zoning map below to explore the zones in Yarmouth.
If you need official confirmation of a parcel’s zoning, request a signed zoning confirmation letter from the Development Officer. These letters confirm zoning for a specific date only because the Land Use By-law can change.
Before you start any project: Check with the Planning and Economic Development Department to confirm current zoning and any applicable rules.
