Zoning, Building Permits & ARUs

Local zoning determines permitted uses and development standards. Building permits apply to many construction and renovation projects. Additional-unit feasibility must be checked against current zoning, private or municipal servicing and Building Code requirements.

Buyer Due Diligence

  • Confirm zoning and agricultural permissions.
  • Review current tax information.
  • Check permits and septic records.
  • Test or investigate private well and septic systems where applicable.
  • Review drainage, conservation and MDS constraints.
  • Confirm ARU permissions and servicing.
