Parcel Specifications & Infrastructure
Property Description
A newly cleared entrance driveway and heavy-duty 400mm culvert have already been installed off the seasonal township road. Because this parcel is situated in an unorganized township, there are NO municipal building permits required and no municipal development charges (Ontario Building Code and ESA standards still apply). Property taxes are ridiculously low at only $180/year. Perfect candidate for an off-grid solar cabin, yurt, or seasonal hunting camp. Direct FSBO sale.

Ontario Buyer Due Diligence Checklist
Key items every recreational and off-grid acreage buyer in Ontario should verify prior to closing:
Contact the local health unit or municipality to review test pit requirements, minimum bedrock depths, and setback distances from watercourses for class 4 septic systems.
If the lot contains creeks, wetlands, or steep ravines, check with the local Conservation Authority (e.g. GSCA, Kawartha CA) for development hazard setbacks.
In unorganized townships, no municipal building permits or development charges exist. However, the Ontario Building Code (OBC), Electrical Safety Authority (ESA), and septic permits still apply.
Verify whether the road is township-maintained year-round (with snowplowing), a private road association with annual dues, or a seasonal unmaintained Crown trail.
If hydro is not at the road, obtaining a quote from Hydro One for pole extensions can cost $10,000–$30,000+ per pole. Many buyers opt for high-efficiency 48V LiFePO4 off-grid solar instead.
Review the Parcel Register PIN on OnLand.ca. While corner iron surveyor bars can be found with a metal detector, an official OLS Reference Plan guarantees exact lot acreage.
Note on Ontario accessory structures: Small detached accessory storage sheds up to 15 m² (~161 sq ft) may be permit-exempt under provincial code, but local municipal zoning bylaws, setbacks, and occupancy rules always apply. Confirm local bylaws with the township building department.
