How it works
The Zoning Bylaw No. 1395 was adopted September 24, 2024. The Town's consolidated copy is updated to September 22, 2026. Two amending bylaws (1395.12 and 1395.13, 2026) are posted dated October 28, 2026, so they may not be in the consolidated copy.
Zones are shown on the Zoning Maps in Schedule 2. Each zone lists its permitted uses, and anything not listed is prohibited. Each zone also sets maximum parcel coverage, height, density and minimum setbacks. Parking, fences, accessory buildings, home occupations and short-term rentals have their own sections.
