# Zoning Bylaws
The Township's new Zoning By-law for the Countryside, By-law 2022-053, was passed by Council on September 26, 2022. The Zoning By-law for the Countryside is a comprehensive by-law for the rural areas and hamlets within the Township, which were previously regulated by the Township's Comprehensive Zoning By-law 74-53, as amended. The rural area encompasses the Countryside and Hamlet designations of the Our King Official Plan, as well as the Nobleton Village Reserve Lands. The rural area excludes the urban Villages of King City, Nobleton and Schomberg.
The Township passed a Housekeeping Amendment to Comprehensive Countryside Zoning By-law 2022-053 on May 27, 2024. The Amendment is currently under appeal at the Ontario Land Tribunal.
The Township passed a Zoning By-law Amendment to Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2022-053 for the Highway 11 Corridor Study. The Amendment is in force and effect, except as it applies to 20520 and 20550 Highway 11, which are subject to a site-specific appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal.
The Township's three Villages, King City, Nobleton and Schomberg are regulated by two separate urban area By-laws, By-laws 2016-71 and 2017-66. Zoning By-law 2016-71 is a Zoning By-law for the Nobleton Urban Area and includes all lands within the Nobleton Urban Area, but not the lands within the Nobleton Village Reserve. Zoning By-law 2017-66 is a Zoning By-law for the Schomberg and King City Urban Areas, and includes all lands within the Village Boundary of each Village.
Zoning By-laws provide for the permitted uses on a property, as well as provide zoning standards for existing and new development. The By-laws implement Township, Regional and Provincial policies. Zoning By-laws are large documents to view - if you require specific sections or have questions regarding zoning provisions you can acquire specific details from the Township's Planning Division. To submit an inquiry or a request for information or to speak to a Planner use our ASK KING ZONING inquiry service.
