Building records and reports
The Building Division maintains records on building and construction activities throughout Haldimand County. Many of these records can be made available to the public on request (fees may apply).
For access to more information not mentioned below or for access to information about a property in which you are not the current owner or have authorization from the current owner, you can submit a Freedom of Information Request with the Clerks Division.
Routine disclosure
Property owners can request certain building records such as surveys and permits, building, plumbing and septic (including layout and septic evaluation), if available.
Documents such as plans, drawings, engineering reports and supporting documentation for requested permits are available with a $5 application fee, plus search time ($7.50 per fifteen minutes) as per the User Fee By-Law.
How to submit a routine disclosure request
After completing the Routine Disclosure Request Form (PDF), you have two options for submitting your application and payment.
- Online through our building portal - Select Request for Information as your application type under Apply for a Building Permit.
- In person at the Haldimand County Administration Building, 53 Thorburn Street South, Cayuga.
Zoning Verification and Work Orders
You can submit a request for the verification of zoning and municipal work orders to obtain information regarding the property's zoning designation and permitted uses.
