A local publication is worth what its sourcing is worth. Listing the sources publicly is the cheapest way to make that checkable: if a figure on this site looks wrong, you can find the dataset it came from here, go to the publisher, and see for yourself.
Licences are recorded exactly as the publisher states them. Where a publisher gives no licence, this page says “not stated” rather than assuming one. We report from those sources as public records and cite them; we do not republish their material as our own.
The zoning database: each zone code's polygons, hectares, communities, special provisions and holding symbols, and the zone at an address.
The North Oakville half of the zoning database, and the zone at an address between Dundas Street and the 407.
The transit database: every route's stops, communities, wards, trips per day and first and last departures.
The parks database: every park's name, classification, outline and area, its ward and community, its lakeshore position and the facilities the Town records inside it.
The Town facilities database: community centres, pools, arenas, libraries, cultural sites, offices, cemeteries and harbours as sites, and the facilities facet of Explore this area.
The wards database: each ward's boundary, area, streets with address counts, and the location of schools, heritage properties and applications inside it.
The heritage register: every property's status, by-law, year built and the Town's own description and history, with owner fields never extracted.
Primary record for rezonings, official plan amendments, interim control by-laws, public meetings and appeal deadlines.
The development pipeline shown on each neighbourhood page, and the check on whether an area has active applications at all.
The definitions of Midtown Oakville, Downtown Oakville, Kerr Village, Bronte Village, Palermo Village, Uptown Core and the Bronte GO station area.
Written ward boundary descriptions, used to point readers at the right Town application list for an area.
The property tax explainer and any figure quoted for a tax rate or instalment date.
Municipal finance reporting, including the 2027 budget forecast.
Which valuation date the year's assessments rest on, stated on the property tax page.
Route and Ride On-Demand changes, and the transit section of each neighbourhood page.
Boundary review reporting, including study areas, process pathway, options and timelines.
The boundary review tracker. Each review has one permanent page here, and one permanent page on OakvilleIQ that is revised rather than replaced.
The only authority for which school an address attends. OakvilleIQ never answers that question itself; it sends readers here.
New school construction, openings, naming processes and board decisions.
The new schools tracker: Catholic school sites, capacity, funding and stage.
The new schools tracker: provincial funding amounts, student places and childcare spaces.
The list of Oakville schools: name, board, level, grade range, address and enrolment.
The statutory basis for interim control by-laws, zoning amendments, appeal rights and Minister's Zoning Orders.
Oakville by the numbers: population, age, households, income, housing, immigration, religion, language, education, work and commuting for the Town (census subdivision 3524001).
Oakville's population between censuses.
The development tracker: Oakville GO Station, and the Burloak and Kerr Street grade separations.
The library board's stated opening year for the New Central Library.
The Oakville and Toronto comparison on Moving to Oakville.
Regional road, watermain and wastewater work that closes Oakville streets.
Transmission and station capacity needs that affect Oakville, including the GTA West supply area that feeds Oakville TS.
Every page belongs to one collection. The launch date is what later search and traffic reads are judged against, collection by collection, so a database that Google ignores can be told apart from one it rewards. Counts are computed from the same code that builds the pages.

These pages are checked automatically for change. A change is an editorial signal: it tells a person to go and read the source. It does not draft anything and it does not publish anything. Where a source has a page here that it should update, that page is named, so a multi-year review stays at one address instead of scattering across a dozen.

OakvilleIQ does not use multiple listing service data, private property records, valuation feeds or any dataset that is licensed for real estate purposes. It does not scrape other news publications. It does not use datasets whose licence does not permit the use we would put them to.
We also do not compute a school catchment from coordinates. Attendance boundaries are set by the school boards and published by them; a distance calculation dressed as a catchment would be the most damaging thing this publication could get wrong for a family. Our schools page says so on the page itself.
Tell us. Every story lists the exact documents behind it with the date we retrieved them, and this page lists the recurring datasets. If a number here does not match its source, that is a correction and we will treat it as one. How corrections work.
