Commonly Requested Bylaws

Commonly requested bylaws are municipal regulations that the public often looks to understand and follow. 

If you need access to bylaws that are not available on this page, please Contact Us.

Fees and Charges Bylaw  

The Fees and Charges Bylaw establishes fees to be collected by the Corporation of the City of Kingston. 

Streets Bylaw 

The Streets Bylaw stops certain actions to help keep Kingston streets clean and safe. Check the Streets Bylaw for a list of these actions and the fines they carry.  

Waste Collection Bylaw 

Our Waste Collection Bylaw prohibits residents from damaging or misusing waste bins, littering, or using someone else's bin for their waste.  

We are actively enforcing this bylaw and will charge property owners who break these rules. Property owners and landlords must also keep their properties clean from waste and help tenants do the same. If there is a mess left behind, a $125 fee plus cleanup costs will be added to the property’s tax bill. 

The City of Kingston acknowledges that we are on the traditional homeland of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat, and thanks these nations for their care and stewardship over this shared land.

Today, the City is committed to working with Indigenous peoples and all residents to pursue a united path of reconciliation.
