By-Law Officers’ Summer Hours

The Township of Muskoka Lakes has instituted new hours for its by-law division.  By-law officers are now available Monday to Friday from 8 am to 6 pm, as well as Saturday and Sunday from 9 am to 5 pm.  These change will remain in effect until Labour Day Monday, September 4th, 2023.

According to Chief By-Law Enforcement Officer Rob Kennedy the best way to submit a complaint is through the Report a Concern Form.   By-law officers can also be contacted via email at bylaw@muskokalakes.ca and will respond when able that day.  Voicemail messages will not be responded to until at least the following business day, or when the by-law officer returns and picks up the message.
