Scugog questions
Do I need to register my Port Perry basement unit?
Yes. Scugog requires every additional dwelling unit to be registered with the Township before anyone lives in it.
Can I add a unit to my rural property?
Usually one, within an existing building's footprint, served by its own well and septic if the house is. Check with the Township before you plan it.
Do you rent waterfront homes year-round?
Yes, once they're ready for winter. We check heating, insulation, water and road access first, and the lease says who clears snow and maintains the dock.
