*New* Interactive Zoning Mapping 

The Township of East Garafraxa in partnership with the County of Dufferin have developed Interactive Mapping for properties within the Township. The Interactive Mapping includes layers for zoning, municipal boundaries, aerial photos and more. 

To find zoning information for a specific property, enter an address or roll number, into the mapping search bar at the following link Township of East Garafraxa and County of Dufferin Interactive Mapping.

Land Use Planning Framework

The responsibility for long-term planning in Ontario is shared between the province and municipalities. The province sets the ground rules and directions for land use planning through the Planning Act and the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), and other Provincial Plans. In certain parts of the province, provincial plans provide more detailed and geographically specific policies to meet certain objectives, such as managing growth, or protecting agricultural lands and the natural environment. The plans applicable to East Garafraxa are: The Greenbelt Plan, and A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. These plans work together with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS).

Municipalities implement the province’s land use planning policy framework. Municipalities prepare official plans and make land use planning decisions to achieve their communities’ economic, social and environmental objectives, while implementing provincial policy direction

Please see the following Township Building/Demolition Permits and Planning Information pamphlet for more information including but not limited to Municipal Approval/Building Permits, Land Use Planning and Planning Applications. The pamphlet is intended to provide preliminary information only, for complete accuracy, please refer to the Plans and Documents referenced in the same. 

Building Permits

E-Permitting for Building Permit Applications

All permit applications will be processed through the online CityView Portal, in collaboration with the County of Dufferin Building Department. Please visit the County of Dufferin Building Services webpage for checklists and help documents with respect to submitting an application. 


Please contact the Township office to arrange for payment of associated fees if applicable with respect to applications (example Township Development Charges, Entrance Deposit and Fee ext..).

Building permits are required for the construction of new buildings or structures, building additions, renovations, pools, decks, sheds, and structural alterations and must comply with the provisions of the Township By-Laws. A building permit application can be obtained from the Township website on the Applications, Licences and Permits page or the administration office or at the County of Dufferin Building Department. 

Development Charges

For information regarding the 2019 Development Charges Background Study, By-Law 32-2019 for the Imposition of Development Charges and the annual indexed Development Charges as of January 1, 2021 please visit the Township 2019 Development Charges Background Study page.

Fencing

Please be advised that the Township does not have a fence bylaw for perimeter/boundary fences on private property in residential areas, although there is a Pool Fence Bylaw that applies to all properties. Fencing along the roadway should be placed far enough from the property line so as not to cause snow issues on the roadway, and fencing should not be located within a registered easement on a property, or located within a drainage swale, if such swale exists on the subject property.

 

Placement of a perimeter fence on a property:

  • if there is no agreement between property owners to share the fence, it is advisable for the fence to be constructed solely on the property of the owner(s)

 

Except in the above noted circumstances (for a pool fence or impeding a registered easement), the Township would not be involved, does not provide surveys, nor require surveys for fencing.
