Zoning

A Zoning By-law controls the use of land, including how it can be used, where buildings and structures can be located, lot sizes, parking requirements, building heights, and setbacks. All properties are assigned a zone, and each zone has specific permitted uses and requirements for development.

The Zoning By-law that applies depends on the location of your property. This page contains a link to each Zoning By-law and the associated schedules.

To check the zoning of the property in the City of Kawartha Lakes, use the Planning and Property Viewer. If you have questions about the Zoning of a property or want more information about Zoning By-laws, please contact the Planning Division at planningadmin@kawarthalakes.ca or call or 705-324-9411 extension 1231.
