Right of Way Construction Permits

Important: Road work restrictions will be in effect from May 1 to July 31 due to the FIFA World Cup 2026. Please review the map of restricted areas before applying for a right of way construction permit.

Please Note: For all right of way construction permit requests, applicants must review the Metrolinx Third Party Coordination and Permitting Map. If the location falls within a Municipal Consent Review and Roadway Coordination Zone and/or a Metrolinx Adjacent Development Review Zone, the applicant is responsible for contacting Metrolinx to obtain the required permits and approvals.

If you are a homeowner or contractor planning a renovation, demolition, construction or landscaping project, you may need to apply for special permits if any part of the work takes place within the public right of way.
