Interim Control By-Law:
During the adption process of the new Planning Programme and of the consequential planning by-laws, the Interim Control By-law applicable to the entire area within the limits of the City remains in force. As a result of this by-law, construction and development projects are restricted in order to give the City some time to establish development options and determine how to put in place the necessary infrastructure for certain projects.

Planning to renovate, extend or build?
Please verify if your renovation project is subject to the SPAIP By-Law on Architectural Integration Programs for older areas of Pointe-Claire.

Residential cabanas (sheds) - Reminder:
Prior to the construction or the installation of a cabana, a building permit application should be made to ensure compliance to the municipal zoning and construction regulations (minimum setbacks, maximum height and floor area, type of foundations, etc.). Even thought  a building permit is not required for a cabana with an area of 12 square meters or less and without a permanent foundation, the municipal regulations must still be respected. Please consult the applicable regulations.

Under the Fonds du patrimoine culturel québécois, the Québec Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine and the Ville de Montréal offer a restoration subsidy program aimed at helping to preserve and develop cultural property and areas that are of significant heritage value in all the cities on the island of Montréal.
