Zoning Bylaw 9990 given Ministerial approval and is in effect.
January 8, 2025 - 1:30pm
The repeal of Bylaw No. 8770, Zoning Bylaw, 2009 and replacement with Bylaw No. 9990, Zoning Bylaw, 2024, was given Ministerial approval by the Government of Saskatchewan and is in effect as of January 3, 2025.

The Zoning Bylaw is a regulatory document that facilitates implementation of the City of Saskatoon's Official Community Plan. All land in the City of Saskatoon is assigned a zoning district and subject to development standards associated with the zoning district. Parking, permitted uses, and setbacks are included in these regulations.
Bylaw No. 9990, Zoning Bylaw, 2024 will be available on the City of Saskatoon website at saskatoon.ca/city-hall/city-bylaws-policies/city-bylaws.
