Official Plan Amendment Application

Under Section 22 of the Planning Act
Ontario Regulation 543/06

Important Note to Applicants

The Application fee for an amendment to the County Official Plan is set by County Council and changes from time to time. The current application fee is $3160.
- The fee charged in any given year may be reduced by $500 where both an Official Plan Amendment and the municipal Zoning By-law Amendment are required.
Where the Manager of Planning determines that a technical study (or studies) is required to justify an application, the applicant is responsible for the cost of these studies. Further, the applicant will be required to reimburse the County for fees and expenses related to the peer review/evaluation of studies submitted by the applicant.
Where an application to amend the Official Plan is approved by the County and appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board, the County and the applicant shall enter into an agreement with respect to payment of the costs for any subsequent Ontario Municipal Board hearing or hearings.
All cheques should be made payable to the UNITED COUNTIES OF STORMONT, DUNDAS & GLENGARRY. If you have any questions, please contact the office at (613) 932-1515, Ext. 218.
Eighty percent (80%) of the application fee shall be returned to the applicant if an application is rejected by the County as being incomplete or if withdrawn prior to circulation to commenting agencies. This does not include any costs related to newspaper notices or public meetings.
One application form and fee are required for each Official Plan Amendment.
Application forms must be filled out clearly and all questions must be completed. If the mandatory information is not provided, the approval authority may refuse to accept or to further consider the application.
Please note that municipal and Conservation Authority staff may be required to enter upon the subject property for the purpose of conducting site inspections.
