Zoning By-law

The North Huron Zoning By-law controls the use and development of all lands, buildings, and structures within the municipality. It is one of the primary tools for implementing the Township's Official Plan. The Zoning By-law specifically lists permitted uses and required standards such as the location of structures, building types and setbacks, parking requirements and building heights, among other provisions. A Zoning By-law divides the municipality into different land use zones with detailed maps that specify the permitted uses and the required standards in each zone. The Zoning By-law is legally enforceable and applicable law for building permits.

Applying for an Zoning By-law Amendment

If a proposed use or structure on a property does not meet the requirements of the Zoning By-law, the owner may apply for a Zoning By-law Amendment, also known as a 'rezoning'. A proposed zoning change must conform to the Official Plan, or an Official Plan Amendment may also be required. The application form and a guide to the Zoning By-law Amendment process are available on the County of Huron website. There is an application fee for rezoning applications.
