An encroachment on Town property exists when a building, structure, vegetation, man-made object or item of personal property occupies or partially occupies Town owned lands. There is no legal obligation for the Town to enter into an Encroachment Agreement for any encroachment however, the Town has an application and agreement process for individuals who wish to obtain permission for the encroachment.
Council adopted a by-law to delegate the authority for entering into Encroachment Agreements to staff.
