A Copy of the Official Plan is available here:

Zoning By-Law 2005-120 for the Municipality of Dysart et al was approved by Council on December 12, 2005. The Zoning By-Law implements land use policies of the Municipality of Dysart et al Official Plan by regulating and controlling specific land uses on individual properties. The provisions of this By-Law shall apply to all lands and waters within the Municipality, except for all lands and waters within the boundary of Algonquin Provincial Park including the geographic townships of Bruton, Clyde, and part of the geographic township of Eyre.

A Zoning By-Law contains a number of zones and sets out the permitted uses of land, minimum lot dimensions, building and structure locations, permitted types of buildings and structures, as well as parking and landscape requirements. Zoning maps are available to assist in determining the zoning of a property (see links below) as well as specific lot provisions and amendments.

Through zoning, a municipality can guide and shape the pattern of development that occurs. The requirements in a Zoning By-Law help to determine the physical appearance of a community.

A full copy of the Municipality of Dysart et al Comprehensive Zoning By-law is available here:

Zoning Amendments

If you have a development proposal that does not comply with the Zoning By-Law, you may apply for a Zoning Amendment. All applications must conform with the Municipality of Dysart et al Official Plan. If not, an Official Plan Amendment may be necessary.

Zoning Amendment Application Form

If you are either buying, selling or mortgaging a property, you may need a letter of zoning compliance. Or, your lawyer may need to obtain a letter on your behalf. No problem - we can assist you.

Based on the request, here is some of the information that may be included in the letter:

  • Current zoning and whether the proposed property use complies
  • Pending zoning, if applicable
  • Compliance with building setback regulations
  • Status of any building and septic permits on file
  • Whether there are any active zoning or property standard violations
  • Whether the property has any heritage significance

Please contact the Planning and Land Information Department for further information.

A minor variance allows for a minor change from the requirements a zoning By-Law. For example, you may want to construct a building on your property but the minimum setbacks, lot coverage or height cannot be met.

A minor variance does not change the zoning of a property. It will only allow for minor relief from specific requirements of the By-Law in order to obtain a building permit (ex. rear yard setback for a shed).

In order to ensure timely processing of an application, please contact the Planning and Land Information Department for a pre-consultation meeting. To support your application, you may be asked for additional information such as a planning justification report. All applications must be completed in full prior to acceptance.

A Site Plan Agreement establishes both design and technical aspects of development over and above the requirements set out in the zoning By-Law. They can supplement zoning by providing more detailed site-specific requirements.

Site plan control provides an opportunity for the municipality to comment on the design and the development of a site. This includes the location, design and shape (massing) of buildings, the layout of parking and service areas, drainage, traffic and pedestrian/public access areas, landscaping, paving materials and street furniture (e.g., bicycle facilities, benches, lampposts, recycling containers).

The goal of Site Plans is to ensure that development projects contribute to attractive waterfronts, streetscapes and the character of the neighbourhood while protecting the environmental features of the property and surrounding land (e.g. wetlands, wild life habitats, water quality).

There are two components of a Site Plan Agreement: Site Plan schedule and a written agreement that is registered on title. The written agreement contains the terms of the agreement and in some cases includes financial guarantees to ensure compliance with the agreement.

There are two main types of Site Plan Agreements in the Municipality of Dysart et al:

  • Non-residential Site Plan Agreements
  • Residential Site Plan Agreements

Certain developments are exempted from site plan control. A complete list of exemptions is available by reviewing the municipal Site Plan Control By-Law 2022-63.

Can Site Plan Agreements be Appealed?

Under the Planning Act, only the applicant can appeal a site plan control application decision. All appeals are heard by the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT), the provincial tribunal that is the final arbiter of any planning decisions. Once a site plan control is approved, the next step for an applicant is to apply for a building permit. 

What is GIS?

GIS is a computer system that incorporates geographical features with tabular data in order to store, manipulate, analyze and display data on a map.  Each feature contains spatial data to locate it on the earth’s surface, as well as additional data in order to capture other important attributes about the feature. For example, the actual location of a bridge is the spatial data and the name, length and age of the bridge might be its attribute data.

Municipalities and local governments are defined by geographic boundaries. Municipal services are related to that geography, from roads and sewers, to parks/trail and recreational facilities, from development permits to tax collection. Location is an important aspect of most municipal information. 

The Shoreline Tree Preservation By-Law No. 3505, as Amended, applies to all lands in the County of Haliburton, that are within 30 metres of a watercourse. The Shoreline Tree Preservation By-Law governs the removal or injuring of all trees with a diameter of 5 cm or more. Diameter is measured 1.37 metres from the ground. The goal is to minimize the destruction of trees in order to protect our water resources and sustain a healthy natural environment.

The Site Alteration By-Law regulates all site alteration within Environmental Protection Zoned lands and within 30 metres of a lake. Shoreline protection involves protecting the natural vegetation, prevented silt and sediment from entering the lakes, ensuring slopes are stabilized to prevent erosion, restricting foundation drainage from discharging too close to the lake and maintaining retaining walls in good repair.

The Municipality Built Form Guidelines provide a framework for evaluating the aesthetic quality of development proposals. The intention of the guidelines is to ensure that the Municipality's built environment reflects the spectacular surrounding natural environment. The Municipality has a built form vision, and new development will be encouraged to articulate their buildings to the Haliburton Village Built Form Guidelines, which has similar characteristics to the Banff Design Guidelines.   

Ontario Land Tribunal

The Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) is an adjudicative tribunal that hears cases in relation to a range of municipal planning, financial and land matters. These include matters such as official plans, zoning by-laws, subdivision plans, consents, minor variances, land compensations, development charges, electoral ward boundaries, municipal finances, aggregate resources and other issues assigned by numerous Ontario statutes.

OLT is part of Environment and Land Tribunals Ontario (ELTO), a cluster of tribunals that adjudicate matters related to land use planning, environmental and heritage protection, property assessment, land valuation and other matters.
