# Bylaw Directory
##### **About North Cowichan Bylaws**
A bylaw is a document that describes rules, regulations, and requirements for the conduct of the Municipality, its residents, and those who visit. They are an extension of the laws put in place by the provincial government and serve to clarify but not contradict those laws.
##### **Bylaw Directory**
Our bylaw directory contains downloadable, printable copies of North Cowichan's most commonly referred to municipal bylaws.
In some instances, bylaws have been consolidated for easier interpretation. Consolidated bylaws are convenience copies, and while we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of the bylaws on our website, it is advisable to refer to the original bylaw and amendment bylaws.
