Contact a Member of our Team

We recommend that you discuss your proposals with staff before submitting a permit or planning application. Staff will be able to tell you whether your property is regulated by the GRCA and what plans, reports or other information you will need to submit with your application. 

For title clearances, realtor and property inquiries, please email permits@grandriver.ca and include your name, phone number, the full municipal address of the subject property and any questions you are looking to have answered.

You can also visit Map Your Property to determine whether the property of interest is regulated by the GRCA. The GRCA’s Policies for the Administration of Ontario Regulation 41/24 may also be consulted.

To contact a member of our Planning and Regulations Services Team for your municipality, please refer to the contact information below. You can also use the Map Your Property tool.
