Zoning By-laws

Zoning by-laws are regulations that control the use of land across the city. Zoning By-laws detail how land may be used and where buildings can be located, and include requirements such as lot sizes, parking, and building heights. Explore the Zoning By-law map.

Former Zoning By-laws

The former zoning by-laws have been repealed in their entirety with a few exceptions.

Properties that are still subject to the former zoning by-laws are shown as "Not Subject to this By-law" in the current Kingston Zoning By-law.

Former zoning by-law documents are posted for informational purposes while we work on making them accessible. To request an alternate format or communication support, please contact planning@cityofkingston.ca.

The City of Kingston acknowledges that we are on the traditional homeland of the Anishinabek, Haudenosaunee, and the Huron-Wendat, and thanks these nations for their care and stewardship over this shared land.

Today, the City is committed to working with Indigenous peoples and all residents to pursue a united path of reconciliation.
