The Committee of Adjustment is a panel of Markham residents that reviews and makes decisions on applications for minor variance, consent to sever and changes to legal non-conforming uses.

Minor variance applications are requests to permit small changes to the existing zoning standards on a specific parcel of land. For instance, an application may request a reduction to the side yard setback for a garage or an increased lot coverage for the residential dwelling.

Consent to sever applications are typically requests to subdivide a parcel into two or three parcels.

The Committee of Adjustment webpage provides information on meeting times, meeting agendas and the application process.
