The Town of Oakville’s description, reproduced from its heritage register.

Criterion met under Ontario Regulation 9/06

The property has design value or physical value because it is a rare, unique, representative or early example of a style, type, expression, material or construction method.

O. Reg. 9/06 sets the criteria a property must meet to be designated under Part IV; the Town recorded which one applies.

What the status means

Listed on the Town's register but not designated. Listing flags heritage interest; an owner must give the Town 60 days' notice of an intention to demolish or remove a building or structure (Ontario Heritage Act, s. 27(9)). Under s. 27(16), a property already listed at the end of 2022 must be removed from the register unless the Town gives notice of its intention to designate it by January 1, 2027; one listed since 2023 must be removed two years after listing unless the Town gives notice (s. 27(15)).

Whether a specific alteration needs a heritage permit is the Town’s call; ask its heritage planning staff before starting work. See permits and by-laws.
