​​​​​​​​​​The parent Zoning By-law for the Town of Newmarket is By-law Number 2010-40 which governs land uses within the Town's municipal boundaries. The by-law divides the municipality into different land use zones, with detailed maps. The map symbol (e.g., R1-D), on the zoning map, is used to indicate the permitted uses and standards for a specific property. On occasion, special exceptions or restrictions to a property may apply (i.e. R1-D-119).

Co​mprehensive Zoning By-Law ​
