The purpose of the Town's Zoning By-law is to carry out the vision from the Town's Official Plan. The Town's Zoning By-law is also here to help you understand what you can do with your property. For example, the Town's Zoning By-law will determine if you can live there, do business, and what type of business. Depending on what you are building, the Zoning By-law also tells you how far you need to setback from the property line, and how high can you build and how big it can be.
