Compliance Officer – Nick Wilson

The Town of Woodstock’s by-laws are there to help protect the health and safety of every resident. But in order to be effective, our by-laws need to be enforced. The Town’s first priority in enforcement work is education—to help our residents understand what is required of them. Town staff investigate complaints and inspect properties to make sure the standards laid out in the by-laws are met. Wherever possible, staff work with residents to resolve violations. Only if education and cooperation fail does the Town turn to penalties and fines. 

The Compliance Officer oversees by-laws regarding land use (such as dangerous and unsightly premises, standards for maintenance of residential buildings, garbage collection, recreational areas and the zoning and building by-laws); regulatory by-laws relating to health and safety, parking, noise and curfews are enforced by the Woodstock Police Force.

To report a by-law infraction, please contact Nick Wilson by e-mail: compliance@town.woodstock.nb.ca
