Minor Derogations

A minor exemption is an established exception procedure authorizing planned work or the regularization of work in progress or that has been completed, which does not comply with all the provisions of the Zoning or Subdivision By-law.

  • Conditions

    An exemption may be granted in the following cases:

    • If the application of the zoning and subdivision by-law would cause serious harm to the applicant.
    • If it would not adversely affect the enjoyment of the property rights of neighbouring propertie owners.
    • If it respects the objectives of the urban development plan.
    • If the work in progress or already completed has been done in good faith and a permit is/was held.
  • Submit an exemption request

    Any owner who would like to deviate from the regulations during the construction or renovation of his building or during a cadastral operation, can submit an application for a exemption.

    Simply fill out the form and return it to permis@villepincourt.qc.ca.
