* *
Welcome to the City of Toronto by-law status register. The City of Toronto and the municipalities that make up the new City have passed more than 180,000 by-laws. Many of these by-laws are still in force today. The City Clerk’s Office uses a by-law status register to track the history of how the municipalities amended the by-laws and other details of many of these by-laws. The register also documents the relationship among by-laws.

You can use the by-law status register to track the status of by-laws and view the amendment history and other details about a by-law. Search the Register
