Permits, Licences and Applications

Do you want to change a sign, renovate your store or business, organize events in township parks or streets, do work on public land? Make sure you meet the township’s standards and get the necessary permits and authorizations.

Many of our programs and services require you to register or apply to get a license or permit. This helps us to guide you through the process, ensure you follow bylaws and provincial requirements, and helps us protect our community.
