Zoning By-law
Zoning by-laws provide day-to-day administration of the contents of the Official Plan. They contain specific requirements that are legally enforceable and control the use of land. Zoning by-laws state exactly:
- How land may be used
- Where buildings and other structures can be located
- Types of buildings that are permitted and how they may be used
- Lot sizes and dimensions, parking requirements, building heights and setbacks from the street.

Rezoning
You will need to comply with zoning prior to obtaining a building permit. If your project does not comply with the current zoning of your property, you can apply for a rezoning. Please visit the Planning webpage here for more details. Building permits will not be issued for construction or development that does not comply with Prince Edward County’s Zoning By-Laws.
