Request for Property’s Inclusion on Heritage Register as a Designated Property

The Township of Puslinch is requesting that property owners complete the form below in order to develop a list of property owners who are interested in having their property included in the Register with Designated Status.

Purpose of Heritage Designation

Heritage property designation serves to:

Recognize the importance of properties with cultural heritage value or interest;
Identify and protect properties with cultural heritage value or interest;
Encourage good stewardship and conservation; and,
Promote knowledge and understanding about properties and their impact on the community.

Designation under the Ontario Heritage Act applies to real property, and helps to recognize and protect the heritage features on that property.

Designation not only publicly recognizes and promotes awareness of heritage properties, it also provides a process for ensuring that changes to a heritage property are appropriately managed and that these changes respect the property’s heritage value. This includes protection from demolition.
