Enforceable Bylaws

The bylaw information on this website is provided for reference purposes only. It should not be used for any legal purpose, does not constitute the official bylaws of the Cariboo Regional District (CRD), and may be incomplete due to pending updates or revisions.

Only a printed version of a bylaw certified by the Corporate Officer or designate may be considered the official version. It is the responsibility of the person using this information to ensure it accurately reflects current bylaw provisions. The CRD does not warrant the accuracy or the completeness of the information contained herein and in no event will the CRD be liable or responsible to any person for damages of any kind arising out of the use of the bylaw information contained here.

Persons who need bylaw information for legal or research purposes should obtain the official version by contacting the Corporate Officer.

CRD Zoning and Rural Land Use Bylaws govern issues of permitted uses for a specific property. Each parcel of land is bound to specific permitted uses by zoning. Community, regional, and provincial planning determine permitted uses.

The CRD does not have bylaws addressing animals at large (being off the owner's property), pet licensing, or cruelty to animals. For information or assistance, please contact the S.P.C.A.

No. However, there is provincial “Dangerous Dog” legislation that the RCMP can enforce in certain cases. It is suggested that you contact the RCMP if you believe a dog could be dangerous.

The CRD has a barking dog section in its noise bylaw. However, the bylaw is only in effect in certain electoral areas (area A, B, D, E, F, G, H, L). Please contact the Bylaw Enforcement Department for further information. Once you have been in touch with the Bylaw Enforcement Department, you may be asked to fill out a barking dog incident log.
