Public Notice: Proposed Amendments to Property Standards By-Law 3638
Comments will be received until April 24
The Town of Tillsonburg strives to ensure that the public is involved in all aspects of developing a safe, healthy and happy community.
The Town’s current Property Standards By-law 3638 regulates maintenance and occupancy property standards within Town limits. It was last reviewed and adopted by Town of Tillsonburg Council on July 10, 2017. Minor amendments are now needed to ensure the by-law is current with legislation, and addresses identified needs and emerging issues.
The proposed changes include adding exterior lighting standards, increasing standards for residential occupancy as well as increasing standards for securing/maintaining vacant properties. The proposed by-law also outlines the by-law officer’s authorities for reports and inspections. Garbage receptacles and storage of sea containers have been removed from the by-law, as these issues are encompassed in the new Lot Maintenance By-Law.
The purpose of these amendments is to provide additional detail and clarity for enforcement, while educating the public and ensuring the maintenance standards for the Town are adequate.
A copy of the revised Property Standards By-Law along with supporting material is available for review between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, at the Town of Tillsonburg Customer Service Centre (10 Lisgar Ave.) and online:
If you have any questions or comments regarding the proposed changes, please call 519-688-3009 ext. 4604 or submit written inquiries/comments by mail to mrussell@tillsonburg.ca on or before April 24, 2023.
