The District of Sechelt maintains bylaws on such issues as noise, unsightly premises, pesticides and dog licensing and control. District of Sechelt bylaws have been developed over the years by each Council. They are in response to legislated requirements, citizen concern and issues of importance to the community. The bylaw enforcement function works to achieve compliance to the bylaws of Sechelt by its citizens and visitors.
