Therefore, all applications for plans of subdivision for lands in the City of Pembroke are to be filed directly with the Planning, Building and By-law Department.

Documents needed for application:
- Two copies of the completed application form
- 25 copies of the draft plan
- Two copies of the draft plan on 8½” x 11” paper
To receive an application form or development guidelines, please contact the Director of Planning, Building and By-law Enforcement by phone at 613-735-6821 ext. 1301 or by email. The application fee is $1,600 plus HST.
