Heritage Permits are required when changes are proposed to identified heritage features on a property designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Designated properties are not "stuck in time"; instead their evolution over time is managed by the municipality through the permit process. A property owner must obtain a Heritage Permit to make substantial changes to their property and/or disturb or remove heritage features to ensure that heritage conservation standards are met and there are no negative impact to the heritage resource.

There is no fee associated with heritage permits. For more information, please contact the Town's Heritage Planner.
