Compliance Letters can cover the following information:
- Zoning Information (including the permitted uses and associated regulations)
- Building Permits On-File
- Outstanding Building Permits or Final Inspections
- Active Work Orders
- Active By-law Enforcement Violations
- Active Site Alteration Permits
- Planning Act Applications (Includes Zoning By-law Amendments and Minor Variances)
- Site Plan Agreements
Please note that if you are looking for septic information, you will need to contact the Building Department at building@get.on.ca to obtain a Septic Report. For tax information, please request a Tax Certificate from the Finance Department by contacting taxes@get.on.ca.
If you are looking to obtain municipal approval for propane storage/propane cylinder exchange, please begin by obtaining a Letter of Compliance from the Fire Department.
