The role of Municipal Law Enforcement Officers includes education, investigations, and enforcement of all By-laws within the Township. Every by-law complaint/violation is unique and the method of dealing with the by-law complaint should reflect what is necessary in order to resolve it rather than to be unnecessarily punitive. Property owners should always have the opportunity of using the least expensive option for compliance. Our intent is to enforce the by-laws equitably and to apply the level of enforcement that best fits the type and circumstances of by-law violation in order to achieve compliance with the by-law(s). The Municipal Law Enforcement Division has a responsibility to attempt to balance the public good and the rights of individuals when utilizing approaches to the enforcement of various Township by-laws.
If you have a concern that may relate to a By-law infraction on private property, please email your concern to municipallaw@oro-medonte.ca. For all other concerns, you have the option of emailing municipal law or calling (705) 487-2171 and requesting to speak with a Municipal Law Enforcement Officer. Please find the Comment / Concern form below.
