Submit Documents

Filing an Appeal Form

Please review the notice of decision or document you received to determine with whom the appeal should be filed (e.g., Secretary-Treasurer, Clerk, Minister, Niagara Escarpment Commission, Ontario Land Tribunal).

If you are required to file your appeal with a municipality or other approval authority, please determine if they are registered with the OLT’s e-file portal to see if you can file your appeal online. If the municipality or other approval authority is not registered with the OLT’s e-file portal, you must complete and submit the A1 Appeal Form to them using the methods indicated on their notice of decision or contact them directly to determine how it should be filed.

If you are required to file your application, appeal or referral directly to the OLT, the form must be provided in electronic format, you can do so:

• Via the OLT e-file portal

or

• Via the OLT Secure Email service

or

• By emailing OLT.Registrar@ontario.ca (the sharing of links to cloud-based storage platforms is also permitted)
