TNRD cracking down on RVs as permanent dwellings The use of RVs as permanent, year- round, and seasonal dwellings in rural ar- eas within the TNRD has been increasing. Some have had their wheels removed and others have had additions such as decks, roofs, and utility rooms; however, the use of an RV as a dwelling has never been permitted within the TNRD. Some of the concerns are: Environ- ment: lack of septic systems, often near lakes, watercourses, and wells. Equity: RVs are not taxed so all other comply- ing homeowners pay more. Safety: risk of fire from electrical overload or carbon monoxide poisoning. Property value: RVs reduce the value and sale potential of neighbouring properties. An RV does not meet required stan- dards for dwelling use under the BC Building Code and using an RV as your permanent home, even in the short-term, is not allowed under the TNRD’s Zoning Bylaw and Building Bylaw regulations. There will be increased enforcement, in- cluding order letters, $150-$250 fines, or even legal action.
