Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The Town's consolidated version is for convenience only and should be read with the complete document. Amending Bylaws 1395.11 to 1395.13 (2025-2026) are published separately and may not be in the consolidation.
