Buying a property is a big decision. It is wise to arm yourself with as much information as possible about the property. You can call or visit Clarington’s Planning Services Department who will be happy to provide you with information on the property including, the existing approved use, as well as any future uses that are permitted, and any historical information on that property. It is helpful to bring a Land Survey Plan of the property; staff will be able to verify that is conforms to the applicable Zoning By-Law.
Planning Services Staff can advise you on:
To obtain an official verification that the property complies with the Zoning By-law, you can apply for a land use information and compliance letter. For a complete zoning clearance, a legal plan of survey is required to verify that the lot and buildings or structures on the lot meet the requirements of the Zoning By-law.
Please refer to the fee schedule for the current fees.
A zoning clearance letter is usually completed within eight working days once the Municipality receives a written request and fee payment.
