Property Standards By-Law

The Municipality of North Perth Property Standards By-law is a legal document, which is used to control the safety and general repair of both the exterior and interior of building, structures and properties. Property standards were designed to extend the useful life of all properties, to enhance the general quality of neighbourhoods, to protect safety, health and well being of the public and to ensure the continued enjoyment of properties for residents and property owners. The standards set out in the by-law are minimum maintenance standards as well as following provincial standards as set out in various codes and legislation. For example the Ontario Building Code standards are used for the repair of structures and the Ontario Electrical Safety Code is used for problems electrical in nature.

The interior of buildings and structures with deficiencies in plumbing, electrical, heating and ventilation systems may be in violation of the Property Standards By-law. Vacant buildings and properties that pose a risk of fire or accident or other danger to such properties and neighbouring properties may also be in violation of the by-law.

Property Standards complaints received in the Building Department must be in written form only. By-law information and complaint forms may be obtained at the Municipality of North Perth office during regular office hours.
