Zoning Map
The Municipality of Kincardine welcomes development in our community. Please contact the Building and Planning department with any development proposals, we look forward to working cooperatively towards successful development in our municipality.
The zoning by-law* regulates the use of land within the municipality. It classifies each property within the municipality with a specific zone and outlines the zoning provisions permitted on the property.
Bill 23 has created new opportunities for additional residential units which are not yet reflected in the zoning by-law. Find out more in this Explanatory Note to Bill 23 – Accessory Residential Units. Please contact the Building Department at 519-396-3468 for permitting requirements to create an Accessory Residential Unit or Secondary Suite.
General information is also available on our Building and Renovating webpage.
*This By-Law is not a live document and may not contain all recently updated changes and amendments – please consult the Development Services Department regarding any updates and zoning inquiries.

Development
The Municipality collects development charges on new development to cover the cost of infrastructure such as roads, sewers, water, fire stations, recreation facilities etc.
Properties within the municipality may be subject to site plan control. Site Plan Control Agreements hold the developer accountable to develop and maintain a site as per the approved site plans and terms of the agreement.
The Municipality works with developers on subdivision plans that conform to our Official Plan and Zoning By-law.
Planning
A minor variance may be needed when a proposed use or structure do not conform exactly with the zoning by-law.
Consents are the planning process regarding the division of land. If you are considering lot creation, lot addition, or easements on your property a consent application may be required.
The purpose of the Official Plan of the Municipality of Kincardine is to guide future development of land within the Municipality of Kincardine.
