Council Approves Residential Zoning Bylaws

At the March 2, 2026 Special Meeting of Council, Burlington City Council passed the New Zoning By-laws. This includes:


The New Zoning By-laws replace Zoning By-law 2020 for residentially zoned properties and reflect updated rules for housing and land use.

There is currently a 20-day appeal period in effect (until March 25, 2026). During this time the New Zoning By-laws are not yet in-effect, and there is some uncertainty about whether the New Zoning By-laws will apply.

Please contact us at newzoning@burlington.ca if you have any questions. Another update will be provided once the appeal period has ended.
