Land use planning and urban development are governed by regulations that specify the use of each area of the territory. The zoning by-law and the resulting plan outline what can be done in the different areas of Pointe-Claire.

The zoning by-law is one of the regulations that support the City's urban plan. The zoning plan defines and illustrates the zones and sectors of the Pointe-Claire territory. The plan is accompanied by texts from the zoning by-law that govern land use, building placement, and their appearance. These rules ensure coherent development, harmonious coexistence, and respect for local characteristics.

If you are considering renovations, demolishing part of your home, or if you need a permit, it is essential to consult the zoning plan and the regulations applicable to your sector.

The electronic version of these regulations or their administrative codifications is provided to inform about the applicable regulations in the city's territory. A regulation can be amended, repealed, or replaced at any time by the municipal council. Only certified true copies are official; in case of a discrepancy between a text published on the website and the original recorded in the municipality's book of regulations, under the clerk's custody, the latter prevails. The City disclaims any responsibility for the use or interpretation of the published regulations.

For the list of permits issued by the Urban Planning Department, consult the Permits and Certificates section.
