In Regina, Saskatchewan, understanding zoning districts and setback requirements is essential before building, renovating or applying for a permit. This guide explains how to find zoning designations on the City of Regina map, where setback rules are set out, and which municipal office enforces those rules so you can prepare applications or file a complaint.

How to find zoning districts and setbacks

Use the City of Regina interactive map to view zoning districts, parcel lines and typical setback layers. The map shows current zoning designations for individual properties and helps you identify which rules apply to a lot and adjacent streets. [1]

  • Check the zoning district label for your parcel to read permitted uses and basic dimensional standards.
  • Open the zoning bylaw text or schedules to confirm setback distances and measurement points for front, side and rear yards.
  • Contact Planning staff if the map or bylaw text is unclear for your specific property.
The interactive map is the quickest way to see an address-level zoning designation.
