The Municipality of Yarmouth Development Office administers municipal By-Laws relating to Planning and Development which are prepared under the Municipal Government Act. The Municipality’s Planning Strategy and Land Use By-Law are intended to ensure that future development throughout the Municipality is done in a manner to best develop the natural and man-made environments for the residents. The staff in the Development Office receive and process applications for Development Permits following the zoning provisions in the Land Use By-Law. Building Permits are issued following the Building By-Law and Provincial Building Code Act and Building Code Act Regulations.

We recommend booking inspection and development appointments at least a week in advance. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience.
