Use the Zoning By-law Interactive Map to find the zoning on a property. View links for by-law chapters, sections and exceptions (if applicable) in the text of the Office Consolidation Zoning By-law 569-2013, as amended.

 

Zoning By-law 569-2013 is a comprehensive, city-wide zoning by-law, made up of zoning regulations that apply to properties across the city. Before the amalgamation of the City of Toronto in 1998, each of the former municipalities had their own zoning by-laws. Zoning By-law 569-2013 harmonizes many zoning regulations of Toronto’s pre-amalgamation municipalities.

Zoning By-law 569-2013 is available in digital format on-line. Both the text and the interactive map can be found at the link below. These links let you look up the zoning that applies to properties across the city.
