The Township is dedicated to ongoing improvement and maintaining open communication with the public. We handle comments—both positive and negative—fairly and respectfully, addressing them as promptly as possible. The Township of Cramahe does not engage in proactive bylaw enforcement; instead, we respond to public complaints.
The By-law Enforcement Officer Officer will promptly investigate your written complaint submitted via our By-law Complaint Form. The Officer typically achieves voluntary compliance with Municipal By-Laws. However, there are cases that necessitate further enforcement. When individuals do not comply voluntarily, formal legal procedures must be followed, which can take time.
By-law Enforcement is responsible for investigating and enforcing municipal regulations, including property standards, noise, parking, and dog-related issues. The By-law Officer also handles the issuance of licenses for activities such as refreshment vehicles, hawkers and pedlars, backyard hens, and dog/kennel licensing.
Illegal dumping should be reported to the Northumberland County Waste Management Department at 1-866-293-8379. Animal control in the Township of Cramahe is contracted to the Northumberland Humane Society. Please be advised that Northumberland Humane Society are contracted to only pick up a dog when they are tied up by the complainant.
If you are concerned about a by-law enforcement issue, you can file a by-law complaint by Reporting a concern regarding By-Law Enforcement or by visiting the Applications Licenses and Permits.
Please note, all By-Laws are searchable through our By-Law module built into our website. If you are not able to locate a by-law through our search menu please contact the Clerks Office. Given the amount of by-laws on this webpage, the downloading time may be slower then usual.
