Entrance Permits are required to create a new entrance to your property or modify an existing entrance. Entrance permits are commonly required for the following activities:
- New Entrances – often required for new construction or providing a second entrance to a property where it is permitted.
- Culvert Widening – requested when widening an existing entrance to a property.
- Curb Cut - requested when widening an existing entrance or creating a new entrance in an urban area with curb and gutter.
No person shall construct or make improvements to any driveway, laneway, or other form of access to either public or private property without first obtaining an Entrance Permit.
Entrances shall be installed by the Township at the applicant’s expense, to the specifications outlined on the permit and in accordance with the Township’s Design Criteria and Standard Detail Drawings.
