About Lanark County
The area
Lanark County lies just west of Ottawa and covers about 3,000 km², with about 75,800 people in 2021 (counting Smiths Falls). The county is made up of eight local municipalities: the towns of Carleton Place (about 12,500) and Perth (about 6,500), Mississippi Mills (about 14,700, which includes Almonte), and the townships of Beckwith, Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Montague and Tay Valley. Smiths Falls (about 9,300) is a separated town, outside county government. Lanark Highlands is the largest township by far, at about 1,030 km². The Mississippi and Tay rivers run through the county, and the Rideau Canal is close at hand for boaters. The county calls itself the maple syrup capital of Ontario.
History
The land is Algonquin territory. A military settlement founded at Perth in 1816 opened the area, and Scottish and Irish settlers followed. Logging, mining and farming built the early economy, and building the Rideau Canal tied the area to wider trade.
Services and access
Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital runs two sites, one in each town, with emergency care, CT and MRI, surgery, obstetrics and dialysis. Almonte General Hospital and Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital work together as the Mississippi River Health Alliance. The main highways are 7, 15, 511 and 43. Ottawa and its international airport are about an hour away by road, and VIA Rail stops at Smiths Falls, about 50 minutes from Ottawa by train.
Land and climate
Farming goes back two centuries here; Tay Valley keeps a register of legacy farms and heritage buildings. Silver Lake and Murphys Point provincial parks are both in Tay Valley. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority publishes flood forecasts and river level conditions for its side of the county.
Before you buy
Lanark County is the approval authority for severances (consents), plans of subdivision and official plan amendments, and its official plan sets the broad policy. Each local municipality (town or township) issues building permits and sets zoning through its own bylaw; some townships, such as Drummond/North Elmsley, also handle septic permits. Two conservation authorities, Mississippi Valley and Rideau Valley, cover much of the county. Either may require a permit to build, fill or excavate near a wetland, watercourse or shoreline, because of flooding and erosion hazards. Check which authority covers a lot before planning work near water.
