Heat pumps in Rosemère: permits and bylaws
Planning a heat pump or an air conditioner in Rosemère? Here is what the bylaws say: the permit, the distance from the lot lines, where the unit can go and the noise limit. It all comes from the official texts.
Five spots, one answer for each.
Each answer is the bylaw rule, in short. “Not specified” means the text does not say: ask urban planning.
At least 6 m from the rear lot line and 3 m from the side lot lines.
At least 3 m from the side lot lines (2 m for row houses) and 6 m from the rear line, hidden from the street by an opaque fence.

Not specified in the bylaw: confirm with urban planning.
