Buying Property in Tiny

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does the Township have property surveys?

  The Township does not keep an inventory of previously completed surveys.

  If a survey has been completed on a property, it may be available to purchase through Land Survey Records Inc., otherwise you will have to contact an Ontario Land Surveyor to have a new one completed at your cost.

  Please be advised, if the property is waterfront, an older survey may not include the 178 metre contour line. The Zoning By-law includes setback requirements from the flood hazard limit associated with Georgian Bay. This limit is established at the 178.0 metre elevation. An up-to-date survey may be required.
