When is a front parking pad permitted?

The best is to call the City and find out. In most cases, a permit is required, and has to be displayed in front of the house, but there might be different by-laws; you can also ask your local Realtor for help!

To get the right answer to your question go or call to your City Hall.

Each Municipality has its own rules regarding front pad parking. If it does not take away a street parking space you can often get on. Certain areas are actually starting to more strictly enforce their parking regulations. So be careful about just doing it on your own.

please call the bylaw department! Every area is different, even within the same town, so make sure that you check with them.

A front parking pad is permitted on streets where permit parkin will not serve today's residents.

Narrow mutual drives were built for Model T era cars and just don't work today

Each street, each side of some streets and specific construction guidelines are all part of the need-to-know

Look for streets where some existing homes have little tin signs from the city denoting existing permits as a "early indicator" that it may be permitted (by municipality) on your target property.

Here are some of the issues.

1.If there are no parking pads on the street, you are likely to be turned down.
2.If there are too many parking pads on the street, you are likely to be turned down.
3.If a tree or a lamp post or a fire hydrant would be put at risk by your parking pad, you are almost certain to be turned down.
4.If your mutual drive is 7 feet wide or wider between the houses, you will definitely be turned down.

it's on a street by street basis, you need to call the city

Jack love your answer.... in short talk to the city by law office. www.toronto.ca or call your local councillor.

Contact the municpal bylaw office in your city.

The City provided these permits in areas with little or no driveways. Contact your City Hall for greater detail.

Every street is different, contact your city.

I am in agreement with previous answers....and yes, contact your local bylaw office…they would know best.
