All contractors, utilities and individuals who temporarily "occupy" the Municipality's highway (including the travelled portion, sidewalk and boulevard) must obtain a road occupancy permit from the Engineering Services Department.
Occupancy includes, but is not limited to, any work or construction that may occur on the Municipal highway including:
You also need a road occupancy permit for the transport of any vehicles or loads on the Municipal highway that exceed dimension or load limits as set out in the Highway Traffic Act.

Scanned application forms will not be processed.
The Road Occupancy Permit application allows you to apply for road occupancy, but does not authorize you to begin work until you have received the approved permit.
Applicants may be required to provide, among other things, a road damage deposit that we will refund after the occupancy has ceased, and inspection shows that no road, boulevard or sidewalk damage has occurred.
There is no charge for the road occupancy permit.
Please refer to By-law 2014-022 for additional information including minimum requirements for an application or contact the Building Services Division at 905-623-3379.
