# Municipal Bylaws The Town of Smoky Lake Council derives its powers to pass laws through the Municipal Government Act. The Act gives broad authority to municipalities to develop bylaws unique to their own needs. Councils are expected to act in good faith and in the public interest when creating bylaws. Municipal administration should aim to create bylaws that are understandable, enforceable and accomplish Council's desired goal. A bylaw is defined as a law made by a local authority in accordance with the powers conferred by or delegated to it under statue. A municipal bylaw is no different than any other law of the land, and can be enforced with penalties, challenged in court, and must comply with higher levels of the law. ## Address Signage Bylaws 010-09 Address Signage Bylaw ## Advertising Bylaw 009-21-Public Notification (Advertising) Repeal 003-18 ## Animal Control Bylaw Bylaw No.015-2023 Animal Control Bylaw ## Assessment Bylaws 011-21 Assesment Review Board Bylaw 007-10 Assessment Complaints Designated Officer ## Assessor Bylaws * 016-2021 Property Assessor Bylaw ## ATCO Bylaws 013-13 ATCO Electric ## Authorized Parking Lot Use Bylaws 008-2023 Authorized Parking Lot Use ## Borrowing Bylaws 1-2026 Borrowing for Local Improvement Paving 53 Avenue 003-2022: Borrowing for Daycare 008-15: Borrowing Paving Phase 1 010-19: Borrowing for 52 Avenue Paving 024-2020: Borrowing for Solar Project 005-17: Borrowing Short Term Capital 11-2024 Borrowing Bylaw for Water Reservoir 009-15 Low Pressure Sewer Line ## Business License Bylaws 721-98 Business License Bylaw ## Bylaw Officer 001-13 Bylaw Enforcement Officer ## Chief Administrative Officer 002-2023 CAO Bylaw ## Community Standards Bylaw 01-2024 Community Standards Bylaw ## Corridor Regulation Bylaws Bylaw 03-2024 Corridor Regulation Bylaw ## Election Bylaws Bylaw No.15-2025 Election Procedures ## Emergency Management Bylaws 12-2024 Regional Emergency Management ## Expense Bylaws 011-12 Expense Reimbursement for Councilors ## FCSS Bylaws 003-2023 Family and Community Support Services Advisory Board ## Fees & Charges Bylaws 06-2024:Master Rates ## Fire Protection Services Bylaws Bylaw No.17-2025 Fire Protection Services Bylaw No.04-2025 Inter-municipal Regional Fire Rescue Service Bylaw No.015-10 Providing of 9-1-1 Fire Dispatch Service Bylaw No.012-07 Fire Services ## Fireworks Bylaws 005-06 Fireworks ## Hen Keeping Bylaws 010-2023 Urban Hen Keeping ## Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework Bylaws Bylaw 003-2020 Joint Agreement on Protocol for Regional Cooperation.pdf Bylaw No. 004-2023 Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework ## Intermunicipal Development Plan Bylaws Bylaw 001-2023 Intermunicipal Development Plan ## Intermunicipal Subdivision Appeal Board Bylaws 006-2023 Intermunicipal Subdivision Appeal Board ## Land Use Bylaw Town of Smoky Lake Land Use Bylaw 007-18 ## Library Bylaws 007-15 Public Library Board Bylaw ## Local Improvement Bylaws 005-16 Local Improvement Phase One 006-16 Local Improvement Tax 009-19 South Side Sewer Local Improvement 013-19 Amendment to Local Improvement Tax Bylaw 009-19 02-2026 Local Improvement Tax for Paving 53 Avenue ## Master Rates Bylaw Bylaw No.21-2025 Master Rates ## Municipal Development Plan Bylaws 012-12 Municipal Development Plan Bylaw No.07 2025 Municipal Development Plan Amendment ## Municipally Controlled Corporation (MCC) Bylaws 002-2022 MCC Lending 20-2025 MCC Borrowing Repeal ## Municipal Historic Resource (MHR) Bylaws Bylaw 009-2022 CN Station Designation 155 West Railway Drive Bylaw 001-2022 Keen House Municipal Historic Resource 333 White Earth Street Bylaw No. 02-2025 Bylaw Holy Ascension Ukrainian Orthodox Church Historic Designation Bylaw 3 White Earth Street Bylaw No. 03-2025 Ortona Hall Historic Designation 124 White Earth Street ## Municipal Planning Commission Bylaw 05-2024 Municipal Planning Commission ## Operating Expenditure Borrowing Bylaws Bylaw No.22-2025 - Expenditure Borrowing Bylaw.pdf ## Physician & Health Care Committee Bylaws 007-2023 Physician and Health Care Committee ## Planning & Development Bylaws Bylaw No. 017-2020 Municipal Planning Commission Bylaw No. 019-2020 Public Hearing Procedures for Planning and Development Bylaw No. 020-2020 Land Use Bylaw Amendment Section 7.19 Off-Street Vehicular Parking Bylaw No. 023-2020 Development Authority Bylaw No. 07-2024 Land Use Bylaw Amendment Manufactured Homes & Accessory Dwelling Units Bylaw No. 05-2025 Removal of Reserve Designation Lot R-2, Block 12, Plan 4117TR Bylaw No. 06-2025 Cancellation of Subdivision Plan Lots 8 & 9, Block 1, Plan 1885CL Bylaw No. 07-2025 Municipal Development Plan Amendment Reclassification of Lot 2, Block 11, Plan 872NY from Residential to Commercial Bylaw No. 08-2025 Land Use Bylaw Amendment Rezoning Lots 8 & 9, Block 1, Plan 1885CL from R2 Residential Medium Density District to R3 Residential High Density District Bylaw No. 14-2025 Land Use Bylaw Amendment Rezoning Lot 19, Block 6, Plan 0721842;
