On this page, you will find copies of frequently requested bylaws and policies.

To request official copies of District of Tofino bylaws or policy or to have a bylaw or policy added to this page, please contact Municipal Hall by Emailing Corporate Services. ### About Bylaws Bylaws are adopted by Council during open Council Meetings and can include subjects like zoning and land use, signage, noise, parking regulations, licensing, fees and charges, property taxation and utility rates/regulation. Each bylaw must be read by Council three (3) times in an open and public meeting before it is adopted at a subsequent meeting. Members of the public wishing to provide feedback, questions and/or ideas to Council regarding proposed bylaws are encouraged to participate in the bylaw adoption process as early as possible by connecting with department staff proposing the bylaw or participating in Council meetings. ### About Policies Policies are clear, simple statements about how the District intends to conduct its services, actions or business. Policies provide a set of guiding principles to help with decision-making for Council and Staff and are often accompanied by procedures that direct Staff on how to implement the policy. ## Bylaws & Policies ### A B C D E F G L M N O P R S T U V W Z ### A --- #### Accessibility Plan Accessibility Plan #### Access to Private Property Policy Access to Private Property Policy #### Amenities Reserve Fund Amenities Reserve Fund Bylaw 1007, 2005 #### Animal Control Animal Control Bylaw No. 866 (Consolidated Version) #### Anti-Idling Anti-Idling Bylaw No. 1087 (Consolidated Version) ### B --- #### Board of Variance Board of Variance Bylaw No. 1010, 2005 (Consolidated Version) #### Business Licence Regulation Business Licence Regulation Bylaw No. 1239, 2022 (Consolidated Version) #### Bylaw Notice and Dispute Adjudication Bylaw Notice Enforcement and Dispute Adjudication System Bylaw No. 1107 (Consolidated Version) Bylaw Notice Enforcement and Dispute Adjudication System Amendment Bylaw No. 1107.19, 2024 Bylaw Notice Enforcement and Dispute Adjudication System Amendment Bylaw No. 1107.21, 2026 ### C --- #### Cannabis Retail Application Policy Cannabis Retail Application Policy #### Cemetery Cemetery Bylaw 1086, 2009 (Consolidated Version) #### Coastal Flood Plain Coastal Flood Plain Bylaw, No. 1294, 2021 #### Community Hall Use Policy Community Hall Use Policy #### Correspondence Policy Correspondence Policy #### Council Remuneration Council Remuneration, Bylaw No. 1254, 2018 - Consolidated Version ### D --- #### Dark Sky Policy Dark Sky Policy #### Delegation of Council Authority Delegation of Council Authority Bylaw, No. 1322, 2022 (Consolidated) #### Development Application Procedure Development Application Procedure Bylaw No. 1331, 2023 #### Development Cost Charges Development Cost Charges DCC - Bylaw 1124, 2010 ### E --- #### Election Procedures Election Procedures Bylaw No. 1204 #### Emergency Program Emergency Program Bylaw No. 1248, 2018 ### F --- #### False Alarm False Alarm Bylaw No. 1272, 2019 #### Fees and Charges Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1271 (Consolidated) #### Fire and Life Safety Fire and Life Safety Bylaw No. 1311, 2021 #### Firewood Retail Regulation Firewood Retail Regulation Bylaw No. 1262, 2019 #### Fireworks and Firearms Regulation Fireworks and Firearms Display Regulation Bylaw No. 1219, 2016 #### Five Year Financial Plan Five Year Financial Plan Bylaws #### Freedom of Information Freedom of Information Bylaw No. 665 1994 ### G --- #### Garbage and Recyclable Materials Collection Garbage and Recyclable Materials Collection Bylaw no.
