The Urban Planning Department of the Town of Hudson enforces municipal by-laws on urban planning. All proposals related to land use are assessed by the Department in collaboration with municipal officials and the Town Planning Advisory Committee (TPAC), composed of residents, elected officials and municipal officials.
It issues permits for construction, renovation, swimming pools and subdivisions, as well as permits for tree felling or shoreline projects.
The Department intervenes when complaints are received about compliance with by-laws (nuisances, high grass, pesticides, building without a permit, et cetera).
