If you're looking to establish an Accessory Residential Unit (ARU), see the Township's New ARU Guide!
What is a Zoning By-law?
A Zoning By-law provides the land use rules for our community. These rules must follow the Provincial and County policies, where applicable. Some examples of items regulated by the Zoning By-law include:
* How the land can be used,
* Determining where a building or structure can be placed on a lot,
* How big or small a lot can be,
* How many parking spaces are required, and
* Much more.
## How do you Identify the Zoning of your Property?
