Current Zoning By-Law*

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.

Zoning

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.
