GEOweb is the District of North Vancouver’s own map, and it will tell you what a lot is zoned in three steps. The free check is not open in the District of North Vancouver yet, so this page stops where the map does: at the zone code, and the bylaw to look it up in.

This is what it listed on 2026-10-01 for the property we looked up, which was not a house. A house lot’s may differ.
Zoning, as a code and its name; the development permit areas the lot is in; the neighbourhood; and the school catchments.
The lot’s area in square metres, marked plus or minus five percent; its elevation; its snow load zone; and a Transit Oriented Area line.
The PID, the folio, the legal description and the property type.
The lot’s sanitary, storm and water connection records, and its garbage collection days.
The building’s name, type and year built, its heritage status, and the assessed land and building values.

The District’s zoning bylaw is Zoning Bylaw 3210. Its page says most single-family properties are zoned R1 and R2, and that those two zones are in a standalone Section 525. The District calls a second, detached home on a house lot a coach house, sometimes called a laneway house or carriage home. Its page says Council adopted a new R2 zone with different coach house regulations on 20 July 2026.dnv.org: zoning bylaw · verified 2026-10-01 · dnv.org: build coach house · verified 2026-10-01

This page states none of those rules. We have not read the District of North Vancouver’s bylaw line by line the way we have for the cities the free check covers, and a summary nobody checked would be worse than the link.
GEOweb gives you the zone. It does not tell you whether a second home of the size that zone allows fits behind the house you already have, once setbacks and lot coverage are taken out. That depends on the lot: its width, its depth and what is already built on it.

The free check is open in Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta, Langley City, Langley Township, New Westminster, Richmond, Surrey and Vancouver. It is not open in the District of North Vancouver yet: enter an address there and it says so, and offers to tell you when it is.
Use GEOweb, the District of North Vancouver’s own map. Open the GEOweb Property Viewer and type the address into “Search for properties…” at the top right. Write West and East as W and E: on the address we tried, the spelled-out form found nothing. Pick the address from the list. The map zooms to the lot and a Property Information panel opens. Scroll to Regulatory: Zoning gives the zone code and its name, and DPA lists the development permit areas the lot is in. To see zoning for the whole street, open the layers button at the top left and choose Zoning. The map is redrawn coloured by zone.
GEOweb’s Property Information panel lists the lot’s area under Geography, in square metres, marked plus or minus five percent.
Under Legal in the same GEOweb panel, beside the folio and the legal description.
The Geography section of the Property Information panel has a Transit Oriented Area line. On the public building we looked up it read N/A.
It opens straight to the map, with no terms screen to accept. That was the case on 2026-10-01.
