About the Land Use Bylaw

The City of Calgary’s Land Use Bylaw (1P2007) has been in effect since June 1, 2008. It outlines the rules and regulations for development of land in Calgary for each district (zone) as well as the process of making decisions for development permit applications.

A Land Use bylaw is required for every municipality in Alberta as per the requirements in the Municipal Government Act. This includes the division of the municipality into land use districts (zones).

While there are connections to the draft Zoning Bylaw (currently known as the Land Use Bylaw), this work is separate from the Rezoning for Housing program conducted earlier this year. Find more information on the Rezoning for Housing page.
