What is a Road Occupancy Permit?

A Road Occupancy Permit is required when an individual, company or contractor needs to occupy any portion of City property such as the road, sidewalk or boulevard to conduct work or other activities. Any such activity may not take place on a portion of the city right-of-way without a permit. Fines or an order to stop work may be issued for non-compliance. A fee is associated, as per Fees for Service.

What is a Hoarding Permit?

Hoarding permits are issued for an applicant to temporarily occupy and use a portion of a municipal right of way regardless of work being conducted within the right-of-way or not (ie. occupancy of parking space or sidewalk area), generally in support of construction or maintenance activities.

Hoarding permits are administered through Engineering. No portion of the City right-of-way may be utilized for such purpose without first obtaining a permit. Fines may be issued for non-compliance. A fee is associated, as per Fees for Service.
