Listing is a means of formally identifying properties that may have cultural heritage value or interest. It is an important tool in planning for their conservation and provides a limited measure of interim protection.
Listing a property does not affect the owner's use, enjoyment or right to alter their property. However, if a property owner wishes to demolish any buildings on a listed property, the town must first be provided with 60-days' notice. This time provides the Heritage Committee and Council with an opportunity to determine whether the heritage value of the property warrants additional protection.
Any member of the public, Heritage Committee or Council can propose that a property be listed on the registry. The Heritage Committee reviews the candidate properties utilizing criteria to determine the need for listing, and then makes a recommendation to Council for a final decision. Evaluation criteria for listing a property are determined by municipalities.
If your property has been listed and you have questions, please contact Planning Division staff. For more information, go to the Ontario Heritage Trust website: www.heritagetrust.on.ca
