Rezoning Applications

Depending on your planned use of a property or if you’re making certain changes not allowed by zoning by-laws, you may need to apply for a zoning by-law amendment, a minor variance or an Official Plan amendment (OPA).

Applying for rezoning

Please send us a completed Zoning Amendment Application to apply. Make sure to include all fees when you submit your application. Follow our  Guidelines to help you through our application process and requirements.  Please contact Development Planning for a copy of the Application Form and Guidelines.

A zoning by-law amendment can be considered only if your proposed use is allowed by Milton’s Official Plan.

A zoning by-law amendment will require review by staff as well as public meetings and consultation.

After hearing all agency and public comments and concerns, Council may pass, change or reject the by-law amendment. After a decision, you can file an appeal with the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal.

Please contact Development Planning to receive the most up to date Zoning Application Form.

*All planning applications that require a statutory public meeting will be required to pay a one-time administrative fee with the application fees along with the actual cost of the publication of the Public Notice is the local newspaper. The cost will be invoiced to applicants after publication.
