  • Land Use Bylaw
    Land Use Bylaw September 2013 BYLAW 16.13 How to Use the Yellowhead County Land Use Bylaw The following is intended for information purposes only and does not form part of the Yellowhead County Land Use Bylaw. The Yellowhead County Land Use Bylaw establishes regulations for the use of land and buildings in Yellowhead County. Regulations differ depending on the location and type of development contemplated. Land Use District Maps provide direction for development and use of land on specific parcels throughout the County. The Land Use Bylaw also includes general regulations which apply to some or all development. It is important when reviewing the Land Use Bylaw to consider both the general and specific regulations that may apply to your property. The Land Use Bylaw reflects County regulation only – other bylaws, regulations and Acts of the County, province and federal government must also be observed. Where possible, the Land Use Bylaw attempts to outline these other requirements. This is not to say, that the Land Use Bylaw contains an exhaustive list; instead, it is up to each individual to ensure that the laws of each level of government governing the use of land and development are observed. When using the Land Use Bylaw, it is suggested that the user follow these steps: 1. Locate the subject property on the Land Use District Maps. Note the district title that applies to the property. 2. Cross check with the Table of Contents in the Land Use Bylaw to determine the location of the specific Land Use District. The Land Use Districts are included in PART FOURTEEN.
