Property Standards
The Property Standards Bylaw - 078-2015 prescribes standards for the maintenance and occupancy of property within the City of Brockville.
The bylaw also prohibits the occupancy or use of property that does not conform to the standards until repaired and maintained to conform, or for a site to be cleared of all buildings, structures, debris or refuse and left in a graded and leveled condition.
Please read the Property Standards Bylaw for more information.
Noise Bylaw
The City of Brockville Noise Bylaw - 076-2021 (A Bylaw to Control Noise in the City of Brockville) recognizes that excessive sounds and inadequately controlled noise may impair public health, safety and welfare and could become a public nuisance and defines the regulations around control and enforcement of excessive noises.
In developing the Noise Bylaw, current legislation was reviewed as well as best practice in comparative municipalities and those in the surrounding area to ensure consistency. Brockville Police Services were consulted prior to developing the draft noise bylaw to ensure any proposed changes enhance the enforcement of excess noise.
The revised bylaw came into effect on December 28, 2021 and has been structured to provide greater clarity to prohibited activities and exemptions as well as it will allow for better control of noise throughout the community through increased and efficient enforcement.
