New Ottawa Zoning Bylaw Adopted

The new Zoning By-law was approved by Ottawa City Council on January 28, 2026 and enacted on March 11, 2026. Zoning By-law 2026-50 is now available on ottawa.ca and GeoOttawa has been updated with the final Zoning Map.

At this time, all development applications and building permits must comply with the provisions in Zoning By-law 2008‑250 and the new Zoning By-law 2026‑50, with the most restrictive provisions from both by-laws applying.
