| Ontario Municipal Board | |
|
The Ontario Municipal Board is an independent administrative tribunal responsible for hearing appeals and deciding on a variety of contentious municipal matters. Its main role in community planning is to hold public hearings on:
- land use planning applications, such as subdivisions, land severances and minor variances
- planning documents and applications, such as official plans and zoning by-laws.
The Ontario Municipal Board is similar to a court of law, but with less formality. Board members are appointed by the Ontario Cabinet and include lawyers, accountants, architects, planners and public administrators. The Ontario Municipal Board operates under the Ontario Municipal Board Act, as well as its own rules of practice and procedure. It reports administratively to the Ministry of the Attorney General.
Both guides below will assist Town of Fort Erie residents in understanding the Ontario Municipal Board's rules, practices and procedures and will also provide answers to general questions concerning the functions of the Board.
