Property-related complaints
Complaints about property standards or building maintenance can include fence, porch, roof or other structures in disrepair.
How to submit a complaint
If you wish to file a complaint about the condition of a property in your neighbourhood, you must submit a written complaint. Any complaints submitted by telephone cannot be accepted.
Fill out the complaint form online with your name, address and telephone number, and description of the complaint. Alternatively you can download a copy of the complaint form to complete and mail to:
Township of Puslinch
7404 Wellington Road 34
Puslinch, Ontario, N0B 2J0
Where the Township has determined that a complaint has been filed for a malicious or vexatious reason or as part of an ongoing pattern of harassment, the Township may cease its investigation and close the file.
Complaints about civil matters
The Township is often asked to become involved in matters which we have no legal authority. Civil matters that are not within the Township’s jurisdiction include (but are not limited to):
- private right-of-way disputes,
- trespassing, and
- neighbour disputes over property lines, tree cutting, or fence locations
If this type of matter can’t be resolved between you and your neighbour, you may wish to consult legal counsel.
Severances and Subdivisions of Property
If you’re interested in severing one or more pieces of property to sell, or give to a family member, you’ll need to fill out a Land Severance Application. This is a service provided by the County of Wellington.
Mailboxes
Before installing or replacing a mailbox on the Township roadside, please refer to Canada Post’s Rural Mailbox Guidelines as well as the Township’s Mailbox Policy. Homeowners are responsible for repairing/replacing mailboxes and posts that are damaged by a snow plow.
