A Zoning By-Law is a municipal By-Law required by the Province of Ontario that sets out the specific permitted land-uses and development standards that apply to the properties within a Municipality. The County of Brant Zoning By-Law was passed in 2016, and is generally amended through a housekeeping project each year to ensure that it is accurate and up-to-date.

What Does a Zoning By-Law Control?

 A Zoning By-law controls:
  • How land may be used
  • Where buildings and structures can be located
  • Types of buildings permitted/how they may be used
  • Lot sizes and dimensions, parking requirements, building heights and setbacks from the street

I'd Like to Speak to A By-Law Enforcement Officer
