Zone boundaries: Halifax Regional Municipality Open Data — Zoning Boundaries (copied 2026-10-20). Contains information licenced under the Open Government Licence—Halifax. Licence. The City's data can lag recent rezonings, and boundaries are simplified for display — this map is a browsing aid, not a survey. The official zoning map and bylaw govern; confirm with Halifax before relying on it. Address search: OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Base map © OpenStreetMap contributors, via OpenFreeMap.
