SUBJECT: NUMBERING OF MUNICIPAL PROPERTY BY-LAW
FILE: PLN 25.1
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-104 -90 be received;
2 . THAT the attached Numbering of Municipal Property By-law be
passed.
1. BACKGROUND:
1. 1 Approximately two (2) years ago, the Town has compiled a
comprehensive street address index covering the entire Town of
Newcastle. This index has been in use and property owners have
contacted the Planning and Development Department from time to time
to ascertain their municipal address so that their properties are
properly identified with street numbers .
1.2 However, not all property owners have taken the step to affix
appropriate numbers on their properties . This is particularly
evident in the rural area.

REPORT NO. : PD- 104-90 PAGE 2
1. 3 The resultant implication is that emergency services such as
police, fire and ambulance personnel may encounter difficulty in
identifying the property in need of such services . Hence, Staff
is proposing a by-law be passed to require all property owners to
affix street numbers and to have notices sent to all property
owners through tax bill mailing.
2 . LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY
Section 210, Subsection 106 of the Municipal Act, R.S.O. , 1980
authorizes the Municipality to enact a by-law to require property
owners to affix street numbers to buildings . The Act further
states that the municipality may affix numbers on private property
and recover such cost through collection in the same manner as
taxes .
3. COMMENTS
3. 1 The requirement for numbering of buildings is of obvious benefits
to the owners, and Staff expect full co-operation from all property
owners .
3 .2 As a means to advise property owners, Staff have drafted a sample
notice to be enclosed in the next tax bill mailing. Copy of the
notice and the proposed by-law is attached herein.
3 . 3 This matter has been reviewed and discussed with the Fire Chief who
concurs with the recommendation stated herein.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
