Keeping Yards Clean in King
Some King residents are concerned about unkept properties near them.
The Clean Yards By-law 2016-68 sets out minimum standards for properties in the Township of King including some rules on litter, waste and property maintenance (long grass and weeds) to help ensure that properties are safe, clean and attractive in relation to adjacent properties.
If you wish to file a complaint about the maintenance of a property in your area, please contact By-law Enforcement Services by email by-law@king.ca and provide the municipal address a small description of your concern and your return contact information (phone number, name and municipal address). You can also call 905-833-5321 and a ServiceKING Representative will take your details or assist you.
