What is a Compliance Letter?
Cost: $80.00
Overview
A compliance letter is a signed letter from the Planning department, and in collaboration with the Building department, that documents the zoning, permitted uses, and public building permit information on file for a
property. Additional information can be requested, but not all requested information can be provided.
Contents
The contents of a compliance letter standardly include the zoning, permitted uses and public building permit information for a property. It is important to note that the permitted uses are for the zone for a property, and that a permitted use in a zone is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for a use to be permitted for a property.
- Property Zoning
- Permitted Uses
- Public Building Permit Information
- Zoning Information Sheet
Time
Review is interdepartmental and so timeframes can vary.
All efforts are taken to provide the letter within a two-week timeframe. However, review of the letter is often interdepartmental. Therefore, in the mutual interest of due diligence, we cannot guarantee all letters will be received within this timeframe.
