What is being proposed?

The proposed Property Standards by-law will repeal and replace the current 2002-18 By-law to better address property standard and maintenance issues across the entire municipality.

Key changes include:

• Expansion to cover all areas of the municipality

• Inclusion of natural gardens, naturalized properties and Town-owned lands

• Enhanced buffering requirements for Commercial and Industrial Zoned properties

• More detailed standards for the maintenance of grading and drainage systems

• Introduction of standards for Heritage properties

Additionally, the current infraction process under the Provincial Offenses Act (POA) will transition to the Town’s Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPs).
