Who enacts zoning bylaws in Ontario?

The correct answer is that zoning bylaws in Ontario are enacted by the municipal government. Municipal governments, which are responsible for local governance, have the authority to create zoning bylaws to regulate land use within their jurisdictions. These bylaws dictate how land can be used, including residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural purposes.

Since municipalities are closest to the community they serve, they can better address the specific needs and conditions of the local area. This local governance structure allows for zoning regulations that reflect the values and requirements of the community.

While regional planning groups, provincial governments, federal governments, zoning committees, and county administrations may have roles in broader planning or oversight, the power to implement and enforce zoning bylaws is explicitly given to municipal governments in the context of Ontario's land use planning framework.
