The Committee of Adjustment reviews applications for Minor Variances to the Zoning By-law, Fence By-law or Sign By-law for properties in the Town of Innisfil. If your project doesn't comply with these by-laws, you will need to apply for a variance.
This committee is an independent body appointed by Council under By-law 010-23, which outlines its appointments, terms, and procedures.

- Creation of a new lot
- Addition to an existing lot
- Minor boundary adjustment
Other consent purposes:

Process
The Committee of Adjustment process takes approximately two months from the time you submit an application until a decision is made and the appeal period expires. If conditions are attached to a decision, the process could take longer. If a decision is appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal, the decision is not final until it has been approved or denied by the Tribunal.
