By-Law Enforcement

Under the direction of the Clerk's Department, the By-Law Enforcement Officer enforces Municipal By-Laws in a manner that protects the general public and ensures the Municipality remains a pleasant place and attractive community to reside in, conduct business in and visit. The By-Law Enforcement Officer investigates concerns such as noise complaints, property standards issues, littering/dumping, fences, portable signs and other matters concerning the Municipality of Central Huron By-Laws.

By-Law enforcement operates on a complaint basis by following the By-Law complaint process. When a complaint is received, it is investigated and appropriate action(s) are taken.

To Make a Complaint:

The Municipality of Central Huron is utilizing the Cloudpermit By-Law complaint system. Complaints can also be received in-person at the municipal office (23 Albert St., Clinton, ON, Monday to Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM). 

Submit a complaint via the Cloudpermit portal

By submitting a complaint, the complainant agrees that the statement of complaint is true and for no improper or vexatious purpose and that, if required, will provide or present evidence in support of the complaint at any hearings of Appeals Committee or Court of Law in Ontario. 

Once a complaint is submitted, you will not be contacted unless additional information is required or if it is a complaint that the Municipality cannot resolve.
