By-laws
The Municipal Act grants Council the power to pass By-laws.
By-laws are created as a way to address local issues and concerns. They are adopted to protect the environment, public health and safety or to maintain an orderly appearance within the Municipality.
Frequently Requested By-laws
Short-term rentals
Short-term accommodations are not an officially approved residential use within the Municipality of Highlands East. While we do not currently regulate or enforce by-laws pertaining to short-term rentals/accommodations, this is subject to change as the County of Haliburton is currently undertaking a review of this topic on behalf of all municipalities in the county.
