Newly Built Home Guide

Residents’ Guide

Purchasing a brand new home comes with its own questions and concerns. Our Newly Built Home Guide will help answer some of the questions new homeowners have:

Our Residents’ Guide outlines all Town information including programs and services for all residents.

• Who is responsible for what during the building process • What to do when you have a problem with your new home • Making improvements to your property • How tax bills are issued

This guide was designed in a convenient A-Z format to easily navigate important Town information. Some of the topics that are highlighted in the guide are information on waste collection, permits, Town events and more!

Copies of both of these guides can be picked up at Customer Service in the Civic Centre or online at www.eastgwillimbury.ca/residentsguide
