Zoning

Zoning regulations guide how land and buildings can be used in Halton Hills. Zoning helps ensure development is safe, compatible with surrounding uses, and aligned with the Town’s long‑term planning goals.

The Zoning Section within Building Services administers the Zoning By-laws and participates in the approval process of building permits.

A Housekeeping Amendment was presented to the Public by way of report number PD-2023-057 through a Statutory Public Meeting on October 10, 2023. No comments were received, and therefore, the by-law was signed by the commissioner through his delegated authority on November 20, 2023.

The purpose and effect of this By-law is to remove Zoning By-law 00-138, being the Premier Gateway Zoning By-law, as amended, from the old Georgetown Zoning By-law 57-91, and add By-law 00-138, as amended, as a standalone section into the Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2010-0050.

Zoning, Building Permits & Other Approvals

Zoning review is often the first step in the development process.

• Zoning compliance does not replace a building permit

• Additional approvals may be required from other agencies

• Construction or changes of use without approvals may result in enforcement action
