Zone Grey Highlands

The Zone Grey Highlands project will deliver a Zoning By-law that reflects current land use policies, and will work for you and your neighbours today and into the future.

Did you know?

The Municipality is in the process of updating its Zoning By-law!

What’s a Zoning By-law?

A Zoning By-law is a legal document that sets the rules for what can be built and what activities are allowed on properties in Grey Highlands. It also regulates important things like building setbacks, lot sizes, and how much of a property can be covered by buildings and structures.

Why Are We Updating It?

Over the past few years, there have been important updates to the County of Grey Official Plan and new Provincial planning policies . To stay current — and to better reflect the vision for our community — our Zoning By-law needs to be brought into alignment.

We are also aiming to reduce the number of Planning Act applications by making it easier for some uses to be permitted "as-of-right", meaning no extra approvals are needed — while still making sure that new development fi ts well into our community.

Our goal is simple: create zoning rules that just make sense for Grey Highlands!

Stay tuned by clicking " + Follow " above - Public meeting dates will be advertised there soon.

Let’s Work Together! Your feedback matters. Your experience matters. Help us make sure our Zoning By-law reflects the needs and character of Grey Highlands today, and for the future.

We look forward to hearing from you!

How can you participate in the process?

Your input is an important part of updating the Zoning By-law to ensure it reflects the needs, priorities, and vision of the community. To date, two open houses were held on June 25, 2025, where key changes were presented and discussed with the public. An online survey also helped inform revisions to the draft By-law, incorporating feedback received from residents and stakeholders. The proposed updates were subsequently presented to Council at a Committee of the Whole meeting in October, where direction was provided to proceed to a statutory Public Meeting.

Even though we are nearing the final statutory phases for the Update, there are still several ways you can get involved in the process:

• Attend Public Meeting: Opportunities will be provided for residents, businesses, and stakeholders to learn more about the draft By-law and provide feedback. The public meeting will be held on April 27, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. in a hybrid format. Registration link to attend virtually can be found here.

• Provide Written Comments: Submit your feedback by email or letter. All public input will be considered as we refine the draft Zoning By-law, and weigh just as much importance as a verbal comment.
• Attend the Mapping Drop-In Session: If you are more concerned about the impact the By-law will have on your own property, come visit us at the “Drop-In Mapping Session” to be held between 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on April 21, 2026 in Council Chambers.

The Municipality of Grey Highlands is in the process of updating its Zoning By-law.

While the Municipality’s Official Plan was updated and approved by the County of Grey in 2017, the Zoning By-law was never updated to bring it into conformity with the new Official Plan. Updating the Zoning By-law is the essential to ensure that day-to-day land use decisions — including building permits, development proposals, and property use approvals — align with the community’s vision and provincial planning requirements.

Grey Highlands began working on a Zoning By-law update in 2020 with consulting support (JLR Consultants), and a second draft was prepared internally in 2023. Although the 2023 version advanced to a public Open House, several factors have delayed the completion of the project, including:

• Significant updates to Provincial and County planning policies

• Staffing shortages within the Municipality

• An exceptionally high volume of planning applications, which has limited the ability to dedicate resources to this large-scale project

Now, with a renewed commitment, Grey Highlands is prioritizing the completion of the Zoning By-law Update.
Finalizing this project will:

• Bring the Zoning By-law into conformity with the existing Official Plan, the County Official Plan and the Provincial Planning Statement (2024).

• Provide residents, businesses, and developers with greater clarity, predictability, and fairness

• Reduce the number of planning applications by introducing more clear “as-of-right” permissions

• Free up staff time to begin a full review of the Official Plan immediately after the By-law is complete

The Municipality’s goal is to complete the Zoning By-law Update by the end of 2025. Once the new Zoning By-law is in place, the Municipality intends to move straight forward into the review of the Official Plan Amendment.

Why is Grey Highlands updating its Zoning By-law?

The Zoning By-law significantly influences the built environment, the economy, and private property rights. Societal needs are constantly changing, and land use policies much be updated to respond to these needs. The Planning Act also mandates that the Municipality regularly update its Zoning By-law in a comprehensive manner to align with higher-level land use planning policies. Grey Highlands is due for a new Zoning By-law to address the needs of its citizens and to comply with the direction of the Planning Act.

The Zoning By-law Update project focuses on a comprehensive review and modernization of the Municipality of Grey Highlands' Zoning By-law.

The scope of the project includes:

• Bringing the Zoning By-law into conformity with the Municipality's 2017 Official Plan

• Aligning zoning regulations with updated Provincial and County planning policies

• Simplifying and clarifying zoning rules to make them easier for property owners, developers, and staff to understand and apply

• Reducing the number of planning applications by introducing more "as-of-right" development opportunities, where appropriate and where compatibility between neighbouring uses can be maintained

• Protecting the character of Grey Highlands' communities, while ensuring that zoning regulations support responsible growth, housing options, rural development, economic development, and environmental protection

• Updating zone categories, permitted uses, and mapping across the Municipality to reflect today’s realities and future needs

• Preparing for future growth by building a solid zoning framework that supports the eventual update of the Official Plan

• Encouraging public participation so that the new Zoning By-law reflects the priorities and values of Grey Highlands residents and businesses

The project does not include a full review of the Municipality’s Official Plan at this time. A review of the Official Plan will begin after the Zoning By-law update is completed, followed by a housekeeping amendment to the By-law to align with any new Official Plan changes.

Zoning Mapping Update – Information for Property Owners

As part of the comprehensive Zoning By-law Update, the Municipality of Grey Highlands has undertaken a full review of its zoning mapping. Updated mapping schedules are now available for public review and can be found here:

• Mapping App
• PDF of Schedules

A “how to use” and a “what’s new” with mapping video has also been produced; click here to view it now.

What is Zoning Mapping?

Zoning mapping (often referred to as “Schedules” in the Zoning By-law) identifies how land across the Municipality is regulated. Each property is assigned a zone (for example, Residential, Rural, Agricultural, Environmental, etc.), which determines:

• what uses are permitted on the property; and
• the applicable regulations, such as setbacks, building height, and lot coverage.

Why is the Mapping Being Updated?

The existing mapping has not been comprehensively updated in many years. As a result, some areas do not accurately reflect:

• current land use patterns;
• environmental features (such as wetlands, hazard areas, or natural linkages); or
• updated policy direction from the Official Plan, County, and Province.

The updated mapping is intended to improve accuracy, clarity, and transparency. In many cases, changes reflect information that has existed for some time but was not previously shown on the zoning schedules.

How to Read the Zoning Schedules

The updated schedules are map-based and include:

• A Key Map to help locate your property;
• Zone labels (e.g., R, RS, RU, A, EP, etc.), which correspond to specific sections of the Zoning By-law;
• Overlay areas, such as Environmental Protection or Holding (“H”) provisions; and
• Property boundaries and geographic features, to help you locate your lands.

All schedules can be found here.

To assist residents and taxpayers with a more user-friendly map, the following platform allows you to compare the new and old mapping simultaneously on the screen. The link can be found here.

To understand what the zoning means for your property:

1. Locate your property on the schedule;
2. Identify the zone and any applicable overlays; and
3. Refer to the corresponding section of the Zoning By-law for permitted uses and regulations.

Learn More

A short video has been prepared to walk through how to read the mapping, what has changed, and why. This is a helpful starting point for understanding the updates before reviewing your property in detail.

Drop-In Session – Mapping Support

Staff will be available for a dedicated in-person drop-in session to assist property owners with reviewing the mapping and understanding how it may apply to their property:

Date: April 21, 2026
Time: 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Location: Council Chambers, Municipal Office

This session is intended to provide one-on-one support, answer questions, and walk through the mapping with you.

Have You Been Notified?

Property owners identified as being directly impacted by proposed mapping changes are being circulated as part of this process (pending any unforeseen technical issues with mailing lists).

If you did not receive a notice but have questions or concerns about your property, we encourage you to:

• contact staff by phone or email; or
• attend the drop-in session to speak with us directly.

We are here to help.
Understanding zoning can be complex, and staff are available to support you through the process and answer any questions you may have.

In Progress Projects: 

Rain Barrel 

As part of its environmental commitment, the Municipality of Grey Highlands is partnering with rainbarrel.ca to offer residents access to water‑saving products.

Overview:

 As part of its commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible water use, the Municipality of Grey Highlands has partnered with rainbarrel.ca to offer residents a rain barrel program designed to support water conservation at home. This program provides residents with access to reliable, high‑quality rain barrels and accessories through a trusted Canadian supplier, making it easier to adopt environmentally friendly practices.

Benefits: 

Using a rain barrel allows residents to capture rainwater that would otherwise be lost to runoff, helping reduce demand on municipal water systems and private wells. Rain barrels also help manage stormwater during heavy rainfall, reducing erosion and protecting local waterways. Collected rainwater can be used for gardens, lawns, and outdoor plants, providing a free and sustainable water source while supporting long‑term environmental stewardship in Grey Highlands.

Eligibility: 

The Grey Highlands Rain Barrel Program is available exclusively to residents of the Municipality of Grey Highlands. This program is intended for residential properties located within municipal boundaries and supports individual households in adopting sustainable water‑conservation practices.

Participants must place their orders through the Municipality’s designated partner shop with rainbarrel.ca to be eligible for program benefits, including free home delivery on qualifying products. Orders shipped outside Grey Highlands or placed through other retailers are not eligible under this program.

Rain barrels and accessories purchased through this program are intended for personal, residential use only. Availability is subject to product supply and ordering deadlines as determined by the program provider.

By participating, residents agree to the terms and conditions outlined at checkout and acknowledge that delivery and product fulfillment are managed by rainbarrel.ca in partnership with the Municipality.

Delivery: 

Free home delivery is included with all rain barrels and downspout diverters purchased through this program, along with any accessories purchased at the same time. Orders that consist of accessories only are subject to a $20 flat delivery fee, which will be automatically calculated at checkout. Please note that local pickup is not available as part of this program.
