What are the permitted uses?

On lakefront lots, you can build permanent buildings (cabins, garages, sheds, etc) up to allowable size as outlined by the RM and the Northshore Condominium Corporation Bylaws.

All construction requires a development and building permit with engineered plans and a professionally drawn site plan which shows:

  • Front, Side and Rear Set Backs
  • High Water Level Line
  • All permanent structures are plotted on the site plan
  • Location of sewer/water tanks

For information on the setback requirements please see the zoning bylaw here – https://rmofdufferin190.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Bylaw-09-2022-Zoning-Bylaw-for-the-RM-of-Dufferin-No.-190.pdf
