Every property within Grey Highlands is subject to policies in the Zoning By-law. A zoning by-law contains provisions that regulate the use, size, height, density and location of buildings on properties. The by-law consists of maps to show what zone each property is in and the permitted uses for each zone.
The Official Plan sets out the general vision, goals and objectives for the municipality. It describes the policies on how land should be used. The Official Plan provides a framework for the municipal zoning by-law and ensures that future growth meets the needs of our community.
Property zoning can be found using the following tools:
- Grey County GIS - Instructions to find zoning using GIS
- Emailing our Planning Services Department
- Visiting the Municipal Office - 206 Toronto Street South, Markdale
