By-law No. 87-57, the zoning by-law for the former Town of Ancaster, consolidated by the City of Hamilton to May 2026 and cited in its own text as the Zoning By-law of the Town of Ancaster. Thirty-nine sections run from title, defined areas, definitions and zones through general provisions — home child care, home-based business, bed and breakfast establishments, phased registration of condominiums, outdoor commercial patios — and then each zone in turn, agricultural through extractive industrial, closing with site-specific exceptions in Schedules A and B.
