About Richmond County
The area
Richmond County is on the southern side of Cape Breton Island, between the Atlantic Ocean to the south and Bras d'Or Lake to the north. It covers about 1,250 km² of land and had about 8,900 people in 2021. The county calls itself a land of 1,000 coves. There are no towns; the whole county is one rural municipality, the Municipality of the County of Richmond, with its office in Arichat. Other communities include St. Peter's, Louisdale, L'Ardoise, River Bourgeois and Point Tupper, next to the town of Port Hawkesbury.
History
The county mixes Mi'kmaq, Acadian, Irish and Scottish roots. Potlotek First Nation is on Chapel Island in the Bras d'Or Lakes, where the Mi'kmaq gather each year for the St. Anne's Mission.
Services and access
Strait Richmond Hospital in Evanston has a 24/7 emergency department. The economy leans on the sea: lobster fishing, and aquaculture sites for mussels, scallops and oysters. The Point Tupper Heavy Industrial Park, near Port Hawkesbury, is close to marine shipping routes and major highways and is used for heavy manufacturing and processing; smaller industrial parks are in Lennox Passage and on the Port Hawkesbury boundary.
Land and climate
For coastal property, Nova Scotia's Coastal Hazard Map shows what sea-level rise and storm surge could look like now, in 2050 and in 2100, and owners can ask for a Coastal Hazard Assessment Report on flooding and erosion for a specific property. Heavy rain starting September 4, 2026 caused widespread flooding, road closures and evacuations in Inverness, Victoria and Richmond counties; Richmond's state of local emergency ran from September 5 to 9.
Before you buy
The Eastern District Planning Commission (EDPC), based in Port Hawkesbury, handles planning, zoning, building and fire inspection, subdivision and civic addressing for the municipality. A building or development permit is required before any construction starts, and EDPC reviews it against the National Building Code, Nova Scotia's building code regulations and the county's land use bylaw. EDPC keeps the planning documents and zoning maps, so ask it which rules apply to a particular lot. Municipal water and sewer, where they exist, are run by the public works department.
