Bylaw Modernization: Council Seeking Public Feedback

Municipality of Inverness County Council Seeks Feedback: Municipal Bylaw 50

November 20, 2025

The Council of the Municipality of the County of Inverness is considering the repeal of a bylaw as part of an ongoing bylaw modernization process. If approved, the following bylaw will be officially repealed:

Bylaw 50:

Current: This bylaw was created to amend Bylaw 30: Capital Cost of Sewer and Water, adding a frontage rate (connection charge) for residents of Maple St. Inverness, accessing the Inverness water and wastewater system. This street was not included in the original Capital Cost of Sewer & Water Construction bylaw.

Proposed Change: Repeal Bylaw 50 as a Municipal Fees Policy was adopted in October 2025 by Council, making this bylaw redundant. The fees outlined in Bylaw 50 are now included in the new fees policy.
