Questions
The Committee of Adjustment may approve a variance it considers minor and desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, that keeps the general intent and purpose of the zoning by-law and of the official plan.
From January 1, 2026: $2,228.98 for additions or alterations to dwellings of up to 3 units, $5,011.08 for other residential of up to 3 units, and $6,485.59 for all other uses. After-the-fact variances cost double.
