The Town of Whitby's Noise By-law regulates unreasonable and unnecessary noise in order to create a peaceful and quiet environment for residents in our community.
Please visit Animal Control if you have a complaint related to dogs barking.
You can file a by-law complaint if you believe someone isn't meeting the regulations in the by-law.
All complaints, including emails, must contain the complainant's name, address and phone number. Please note that all personal information about complainants will remain confidential.
What happens after you submit a noise complaint? |
We encourage residents to exercise a reasonable degree of tolerance and to review the bylaw regulations by type of noise found below prior to submitting a service request. If you have a concern, consider speaking with those responsible for making the noise to give them an opportunity to correct the issue. If you are a tenant, you must speak to your landlord first and give them a reasonable period of time to correct the issue before submitted a request to Bylaw Services. |
