Zoning
What is a Zoning By-law?
Zoning By-law 60-94 establishes and regulates land use in the City of Oshawa by implementing the policies of the Oshawa Official Plan by stating:
- how land and buildings may be used
- where buildings and other structures can be located
- what size and height buildings and other structures can be
- lot sizes and dimensions, landscaping requirements and parking requirements
Property zoning
If you want to know the zoning of your property or a property of interest, please use our mapOshawa application on our interactive maps webpage. Once you have the zoning (e.g. R1-A) use Zoning By-law 60-94 to determine what uses are permitted and what regulations apply.
To make a zoning inquiry, a complaint, or ask an enforcement question
Municipal Law Enforcement will:
- provide information about current zoning on a property
- investigate by-law complaints
- enforce by-law regulations and standards
- help to achieve a resolution to by-law infractions through voluntary compliance or prosecution
Please visit the Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Services webpage for further information and contacts.
