| Tents and Trailers |
|
With the exception of the two instances below, you cannot occupy a tent or trailer on your property. You can occupy a tent or trailer in an approved campground (zoned to be a campground). You can occupy a trailer if you have a license issued by the Town. A license is only issued for the occupation of a trailer while you are actively building a new house - timelines for occupation are prescribed. You must have a current and valid building permit for the new house. Fees and deposits are required to occupy the trailer. Our Tent and Trailer By-Law and its amendment explain the rules. |
