Online Inquiries

Do you want to know if your property is regulated by Otonabee Conservation?

Were you told to contact us when submitting a Building Permit Application?

The first step is to fill out an Online Inquiry Form.

Submit a form if you are looking to:

• Find out whether Otonabee Conservation regulates a property you wish to buy, sell, or list for sale
• Get a map of a property you own that shows regulated areas and hazards (i.e. riverine floodplain, lake shorelines & wetlands)
• Find out whether the Clean Water Act applies to your property or request information on obtaining a notice (required for some building permit and planning applications)
• Carry out development including fill placement and grading or construction of structures
• Build a new home on a vacant lot
• Add a structure to an already developed lot
• Fix erosion issues on your shoreline
• Install an entrance or culvert in a watercourse
• Ask about another issue that you would like information or feedback on

NOTE: The Inquiry Form submissions are placed in a queue. You will receive a response from our staff with next steps within 3-5 business days.

Emails to individual staff are not recommended.

Certain activities do not require a permit. These exceptions are listed in Ontario Regulation 41/24.
