Forward an official plan amendment without retyping municipal particulars

Municipalities and planning boards repeat municipality name, clerk contact information, and plan particulars on every form forwarded for approval of an adopted official plan or plan amendment. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

Official form and source

Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: Applying for changes to land use — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): Form to be forwarded for approval of an Adopted Official Plan or Plan Amendment — 017-2028

What this form is about

Form 017-2028 is used when MMAH is the approval authority for an adopted official plan or plan amendment — confirm forwarding requirements on ontario.ca.

Before you start: what to gather

• Municipality or planning board name and clerk contact details.
• Official plan or amendment title and adoption date.
• Approval authority confirmation — MMAH when applicable.
• Supporting materials listed on ontario.ca.
