Sale and Disposition of Land By-law
The Governance Review Committee has begun preliminary discussions on the adoption of a Sale and Disposition of Land Policy for the County of Frontenac.
The County of Frontenac has been utilizing By-law No. 1995-0017 for its sale of real property. This by-law was passed under the previous Municipal Act, the Planning and Municipal Statute Law Amendment Act, 1994. At that time, a municipality was required to pass a by-law for the sale of real land mandating three procedures; publicly declaring the land surplus, obtaining an appraisal and giving notice.
The Municipal Act, 2001 was amended in 2007 to require that municipalities adopt and maintain a policy with respect to the sale and other disposition of land. No mandates were prescribed with this amendment.
Staff presented a report and draft By-law for the Committees review at its meeting on January 7, 2025 and residents are encourage to watch the meeting, review the draft by-law and provide comments and suggestions.
