Council Continues Bylaw Modernization Process, Repeals Bylaw 25

At the Regular Meeting of Council on Thursday, October 2, the Council of the Municipality of the County of Inverness agreed to repeal Municipal Bylaw 25—Building. The decision to repeal the bylaw was made as part of an ongoing bylaw modernization process.

According to Bylaw 25, residents were required to obtain a permit from the municipality before constructing, altering, or changing the use of a building. As permits, fees, and planning are handled by Eastern District Planning Commission, this bylaw was outdated. Council agreed to remove the bylaw and not replace it.

All municipal bylaws are available online. Print copies are available at the Municipal Administration Building (375 Main St., Port Hood) during regular business hours (8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Monday – Friday).

This notice is published in accordance with the Municipal Government Act, Section 169.
