Municipal Numbering of a Property

Different kinds of developments need different kinds of municipal addressing or municipal numbering. In particular, those developments that result in new properties.

Emergency services, property assessments, building and other permits all need correct municipal addresses.

Revised addressing may be required when severance of property is needed through:

  • Committee of Adjustment consent
  • Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) or Local Planning Approval Tribunal (LPAT) order
  • Part lot control exemption application
  • Subdivision application
  • Whole lots

It also may be required due to:

  • Amalgamation of properties for construction of a new commercial or residential development
  • Development of site as condominium
  • New construction results in an additional building or entrance on the property requiring a separate address
  • New construction results in main entrance to building being on a different street (corner lot)
  • Property currently unaddressed
