Noise Control By-law

The Township of Tiny would like to remind the community that Noise Control By-law #21-028, Section 3.1 states: “No person shall emit or cause or permit the emission of noise resulting from activity listed in Schedule “A” if clearly audible at a point of reception.” The following are two examples of complaints commonly reported to the municipality:

  • The operation of any electronic device or group of connected electronic devices incorporating one or more loudspeakers or other electromechanical transducers, and intended for the production, reproduction, or amplification of sound;
  • Persistent barking, calling or whining or other similar persistent noise made by any domestic pet or any other animal kept or used for any purpose other than agriculture.

Concerns regarding non-compliance can be reported to the Municipal Law Enforcement Department at 705-526-4136.

Waitlist Application for a Short-Term Rental Licence

Short-Term Rental Licence applications are being accepted until a total of 300 applications have been received. Once 300 licence applications have been received, the application process will be closed until the number of licences issued falls below the 300 limit set out in By-law 22-017, as amended.

As the Township of Tiny approaches the 300 licence limit, a waitlist has been implemented to determine the priority in which new applications will be received.
