Noise Exemptions

The Clerks Division issues exemptions to the noise by-law, that allows approved permit holders to temporarily make noise that is prohibited by the by-law in accordance with the terms and conditions of the permit.

If you intend to perform construction or have a special event (i.e. wedding, birthday party, etc.), refer to the noise exemption page on whether a noise exemption permit may be required.
