What the record shows
The Province's Greenbelt map series names the Town of Halton Hills on five Protected Countryside sheets (25, 26, 30, 31 and 36), shared with neighbours from Brampton, Caledon and Milton to Burlington, Erin and Puslinch, and on Urban River Valley sheets for the Credit River and Sixteen Mile Creek in the town; the Province notes that in Urban River Valley areas the Greenbelt Plan's policies apply only to publicly owned land. In 2017 an area next to the hamlet of Glen Williams was added to the Protected Countryside, and Greenbelt land tied to the Glen Williams hamlet boundary adjustment was removed. None of the Oak Ridges Moraine maps names Halton Hills.
The Niagara Escarpment Plan's Map 3 covers the Region of Halton, the plan lists Limehouse among its Minor Urban Centres, and its site-specific policies name several properties in the Town of Halton Hills. Land inside the Escarpment's Area of Development Control can need a development permit from the Niagara Escarpment Commission, whose interactive map shows the area. The Town's zoning by-law carries a Greenbelt Land Area schedule, and its rural zones include Protected Countryside zones (PC and PC-NHS2). A result from the provincial layers says whether an address falls inside a mapped area and which designation; it is a planning boundary, not a statement about what a particular lot may be used for.

What OfferDue covers in Halton Hills
The Greenbelt, Moraine and Escarpment check runs for any Ontario address, in the free check and in the full report, from the Province's layers, and names the designation where one applies. It reads the mapped boundaries; it is not a reading of the Town's Official Plan or zoning for a lot.
