Complaints

All formal complaints are confidential, unless a Justice of the Peace or a judge deems that it is necessary to make the complaint information public in deciding a case before the courts.

We conduct inspections when we receive a completed complaint form.

• Educate and increase public awareness of Township by-laws
• Educate residents on the responsibilities and expectations as property owners and tenants
• Gain voluntary compliance with Township by-laws

There will always be some unavoidable neighborhood inconveniences that residents should realize is part of living in a community and are asked to be understanding and reasonable during these times.
