Property Standards By-law

The Property Standards By-law is a local regulation that sets minimum rules for keeping properties safe, functional, and well-maintained. It covers aspects like building structural integrity, sanitation, safety features, and the exterior appearance of properties. Its purpose is to ensure neighborhoods remain safe, healthy, and visually appealing by requiring property owners to address issues like broken windows, overgrown yards, or unsafe buildings. Compliance helps prevent hazards and maintains the community’s overall quality and property values. Essentially, it’s about ensuring properties meet accepted standards for safety and appearance within a municipality.
