Heritage Register

All heritage properties in Oakville are included in the Oakville Heritage Register, an official list of properties which are identified by the town as having cultural heritage value or interest. The town is required to create and maintain the Heritage Register in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA).

The Heritage Register includes the following types of heritage properties:

• individually designated properties which fall under Part IV of the OHA
• properties designated within Heritage Conservation Districts which fall under Part V of the OHA
• properties which are not designated but believed to be of cultural heritage value or interest (also known as ‘listed’ properties)

Oakville’s designated properties are outlined in Sections A, B, C, D, and E of the Register below. The town’s non-designated, or listed, properties are outlined in Section F. To find a property, search for the property address in Property Index.
