Bylaw Enforcement Complaints – Property Setback Complaints

 

 

(1)        For a complaint relating to a structure’s setback from property lines to be considered valid by the CRD, the property must have at least one shared lot line with the complainant’s property. Any complaint in regards to setbacks for structures will only be valid if the complaint involves the shared property line with the complainant.

 

(2)        When receiving complaints relating to setbacks from the property line, the property line must be established. This may be done in one of two ways:

 

a)     The complainant may retain a Registered BC Land Surveyor to perform a legal survey of the shared property line and the location of the alleged contravening structure in relation to the property line and provide a building location survey to the Bylaw Enforcement Officer; or

 

b)    The property’s iron pins for the lot line in question must be exposed and string a line between them before the Bylaw Enforcement Officer arrives on site to confirm the location of the structure relative to the line.

 

(3)   Option (2) b) is only available on properties that have straight lot lines. If the Bylaw Enforcement Officer has any doubt then he/she will require a legal survey to pursue the complaint.

 

(4)   The cost of the survey or the stringing of the lines will be borne by the complainant based on the premise that the onus is not on the accused to prove a violation against himself.
