A consent (severance) application is required to create a new lot, add to an existing lot or give the right to use part of a lot.
Elgin County Land Division Committee is the approval authority for consents. Township of Southwold Council is required to provide a recommendation to the Elgin County Land Division Committee for consents, as a commenting agency.
You are also required to complete and submit the Elgin County Land Division Committee Application for Consent to the Secretary-Treasurer of the Elgin County Land Division Committee. The application fee is $1,350.00 payable to the County of Elgin. Please refer to the County of Elgin's website for more details.
At any time while you are completing the application, if you have any questions, please contact the Municipal Planner. Please contact us by email or by calling 519-769-2010.
Once the application is received by the County of Elgin, Township of Southwold will be notified. Township of Southwold will then request a review fee in order to review and process the local municipalities interests in the consent application.
