Zoning

Our Zoning By-law is a legal document that regulates the use of land within the municipality. The by-law determines, among other things:

• What each parcel of land can be used for;
• Where and what types of buildings or structures may be located on the land; and
• The requirements of lot sizes, parking lots, building heights and setbacks.

The Zoning By-law must conform to the Official Plan of the municipality. A copy is available for viewing below and at the Municipal Office.

• Comprehensive Zoning By-law 6-ZB-1999, as amended 
• North Perth Zoning Maps
• Citizens' Guide 3 - Zoning By-laws, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing

Perth County is undertaking a review of the local Zoning By-laws for Perth East, Perth South, West Perth, and North Perth. This review is a chance to bring the existing Zoning By-laws from the early 2000’s into alignment with the County’s updated Official Plan, reflect current zoning practices, and meet the needs of local communities now and in the future.
