Find your property on the map
Use the interactive map below to see what zone your property is in and what the land use bylaw allows. You can search by address, zoom in on your neighbourhood, and click on a property to see its zone, zone name, and links to the rules that apply.
What the maps show
The land use maps cover several layers of information. You can turn each layer on or off using the menu on the left side of the map.
- Zoning Bylaw Map: Shows the official zone designation for every lot, such as Residential, Commercial, or Industrial, along with setback and height limits.
- Heritage Conservation Districts: Highlights properties and areas protected under the Ontario Heritage Act.
- Wrenford Growth Plan Map layer: Shows where the city has planned for new neighbourhoods, intensification, and major community facilities.
- Neighbourhood Profiles: Provides a summary of the character, policies, and design guidelines for each ward and neighbourhood.
How to use the map
- Enter your street address in the search bar at the top of the map.
- Use the zoom controls to get a closer look at your property and the surrounding lots.
- Click on a parcel to open the property summary. This will show you the zone code, zone name, and links to the specific bylaw sections that apply to your site.
- Toggle the map layers on and off using the checkboxes in the left-hand menu.
- Consult the interactive legend at the bottom right to understand the colour coding for each zone district.
Download and print the maps
If you prefer to view the zoning designations on paper or need a static version for a planning application, you can download the PDF versions of each map. The full Zoning Bylaw Map is split into several sheets based on the city grid. Each sheet covers a specific area and includes a legend, scale, and index. You can find the downloadable sheets under the Map Downloads tab on the interactive map.
Planning applications and map changes
The land use maps are updated whenever the council approves a new by-law or an official plan amendment. If you are looking to change the zone on your property, you will need to apply for a zoning bylaw amendment or a minor variance. The map will show you the current rules, but the application process will determine what changes are allowed. Visit the rezoning process page to see how applications move through planning staff, committee, and council.
Heritage and environmental layers
Some properties sit within designated heritage conservation districts or environmentally significant areas. These layers are overlaid on the main zoning map. If your property falls inside a heritage district, any changes to the exterior of your building or landscaping may require a heritage permit in addition to a standard building permit. Properties in environmentally significant areas may also need approval from the Tamsin Valley Conservation Authority for any work near the Tamsin River or Corvid Creek.
Need help or have questions?
If the map does not show your property, or if you are unsure how the zone applies to a specific project, contact the planning and development team. They can review your site requirements and point you to the right bylaw sections. For access issues with the interactive map, reach out to Elena Petrova on the map support team.
