Ramara Township will act on written complaints from the general public concerning alleged bylaw violations. Our Enforcement Officers will offer assistance and direction with respect to bylaw concerns; however, an investigation will only be initiated once the complaint is received in writing. Your personal information will be kept confidential; however should the matter proceed to Court, it may be necessary for you to attend as a witness to the violation.
Upon receipt of the written complaint, the Bylaw Enforcement Officer will conduct an investigation to determine the validity of the complaint and the nature of the infraction relative to our existing bylaws. You will be advised accordingly whether or not the complaint is valid or refer you to another government agency to assist you.
If the matter is rectified, the investigation will be closed. If the bylaw infraction continues, proper paperwork must be completed, and individuals will be provided with time for compliance. If compliance can't be achieved through education and assistance from the township, the Bylaw Enforcement Officer may undertake legal action.
