Zoning Services

Zoning services is responsible for the interpretation and administration of the City of Vaughan's Zoning By-Laws.

Please note Comprehensive Zoning By-law 001-2021 is currently under appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal. As a result, Zoning By-law 1-88, as amended, remains in effect and applicable to all lands within the City of Vaughan. Building and Planning applications, which are not considered transitioned under Section 1.6 of Zoning By-law 001-2021, as amended, are subject to compliance with both Zoning By-laws (1-88 and 001-2021) while Zoning By-law 001-2021 is under appeal.

The division can provide written and verbal confirmation of zoning to the public, internal and external agencies, and compliance letters and consents to the transfer of land.

Zoning reviews are also conducted for:

Building permit applications
City of Vaughan Zoning By-law amendments
Development applications
Condominium plans
Minor variance and consent applications
Part-lot control
Plans of subdivision
Municipal and provincial licensing

Zoning should always be confirmed before making an application for a building permit or before the start of any construction which does not require a permit, or before leasing or purchasing a property. Even if a building permit is not required, all proposals must comply with the City’s Zoning By-law.
