By-law Enforcement

In the Township of Uxbridge, we strive to protect and enhance our community. Our municipal by-laws set standards to protect property and community values. 

View our Regulatory By-laws for a complete list. Common issues include property standards complaints, noise complaints and animal control.

Complaint Process

The By-law Enforcement department investigates complaints they receive and confirms they are valid. Once a by-law violation is confirmed, the By-law Enforcement department will strive to obtain voluntary compliance with our by-laws through public education and mediation. Complaints unable to be resolved through this method may move to further action, such as Notices and Orders.

While the municipality will offer assistance or direction with respect to a By-law concern over the phone, Staff will not initiate an investigation without first receiving the complaint in writing.

formal policy and procedure governs how staff respond to a request for service as it relates to by-law enforcement.

How to submit a By-law concern via Cloudpermit

The Township of Uxbridge is pleased to offer residents Cloudpermit – an online system to submit concerns.

Step 1:  Start creating a concern/complaint by selecting the 'Report a Concern' button.

Step 2: Search for a property by typing an address or by moving and zooming on the map. Click on the property to place a pin for the location of the complaint.
