Bylaws & Bylaw Enforcement

BYLAW ENFORCEMENT

By-law Enforcement is primarily on a “reactive basis” (complaint driven) rather than a proactive basis. Whenever possible, by-law enforcement staff will utilize conciliation and negotiations to obtain compliance to the intent of the Township’s By-laws rather than having the matter proceed unnecessarily to the Courts. By-law Enforcement services are managed through the Municipality of Stirling-Rawdon.  By-law Enforcement Staff are in Madoc Township one day per week to facilitate service needs.

BY-LAW ENFORCEMENT HOURS FOR THE TOWNSHIP OF MADOC:  DECEMBER 3, 12, AND 17 –  8:00AM TO 11:00AM.

The By-law Enforcement Section is responsible for the enforcement of a number of Municipal By-laws:

  • Administration and enforcement of municipal by-laws;
  • Conducting site inspections for by-law compliance;
  • Taking action on complaints that are received; and
  • Discussing possible by-law infractions and determination of need for enforcement.
