Book a Pre-Consultation

Land Use Inquiry

Do you have questions about a property? A land use inquiry can be conducted if you are trying to find out more about a property. Fill out the land use inquiry form and submit it to Building and Planning Staff. This process is more informal and will result in an email response or a phone call to discuss your inquiry, and potential next steps within two weeks.

If your inquiry results in the need for a planning application such as a rezoning, minor variance or site plan approval, a pre-consultation is required.  For more information regarding pre-consultations, see below.

Pre-consultations

Before submitting a planning application, you will want to meet with staff to talk about your project and priorities. A pre-consultation is mandatory and must take place before a formal application is submitted.

How do I book a pre-consultation?

  1. Complete the pre-consultation application form and submit electronically or in person to Building and Planning Staff.
  2. Pay the pre-consultation fee.
    Payments can be made by cash, debit or cheque at the Township office or by mailing a cheque (with your application) to 894 South Street, P.O. Box 92, Warsaw, ON K0L 3A0.  
  3. Staff will contact you to schedule a virtual meeting, either by telephone or video conference.

If you have any questions regarding the pre-consultation application form, call 705-652-8392 or email.
