Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce is modernizing its regulations to ensure that current tools better respond to the realities across the borough and better meet the expectations of its residents. Get informed before you begin a project.

The regulations must be adapted to new types of sustainable development sought by residents. This modernization was developed in keeping with the following initiatives:

The process of updating the regulations will take place over the next few years. The first major step will be undertaken at the end of the current year and will entail numerous benefits that will help: 

  • Protect the quality of our living environments 
  • Increase greening and protect existing trees
  • Reduce heat island effects
  • Accelerate and simplify the issuance of permits and certificates 
  • Simplify and clarify the regulations
