Thames Centre includes Dorchester, Thorndale and extensive rural lands east of London. Property research should distinguish serviced settlement properties from rural properties using private systems.
2026 Property Taxes
Taxes reflect Thames Centre, Middlesex County and education components. Confirm the municipality’s 2026 rate schedule and the property’s assessment.
Zoning & Permits
Local zoning controls uses, setbacks, accessory buildings and development standards. Building permits are required for many additions, renovations, new structures and additional dwelling projects.
Additional Residential Units
ARU feasibility depends on current zoning plus servicing, septic, parking, setbacks and building-code compliance. Rural and settlement properties can have materially different constraints.
Due Diligence
- Confirm zoning.
- Review 2026 taxes.
- Check permit history.
- Verify municipal or private servicing.
- Investigate conservation and drainage constraints.
- Review agricultural and Minimum Distance Separation considerations where relevant.

FAQ
Why does servicing matter for an ARU?
An additional unit increases water and wastewater demand, so municipal capacity or private septic/well suitability can affect feasibility.
