The Ontario Municipal Board
The Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) is a provincial tribunal providing an independent public forum to hear disputes under various land use planning statutes. In particular, the OMB hears appeals of decisions made by public bodies such as:
- municipal councils
- committees of adjustment
- land division committees
- the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
Different types of matters have different procedural requirements and timelines for appealing or requesting a hearing. It is always advisable to consult with a municipal lawyer prior to proceeding with a hearing, and to have a lawyer represent you at the OMB.
