Proposed Changes to Property Standards Bylaw
The Town’s current Property Standards By-law 3638 regulates maintenance and occupancy property standards within Town limits. 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.
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.) or at www.tillsonburg.ca.
Comments will be received until April 24.
