Get a permit to temporarily occupy public property for construction purposes

To obtain a permit to obstruct or occupy public property, you must complete a municipal consent request. The request must be accompanied by plans and technical specifications describing the proposed work.

You must obtain a permit to temporarily occupy city property for construction purposes for: 

  • temporary closure of a public road to traffic due to construction
  • the presence of equipment or materials on the roadway or in the lane
  • the installation of devices, banners, scaffolding, construction fences, etc.

City property includes streets, alleys, medians, public squares and parks.

You must apply for your permit at least 5 working days prior to the works.

Billing

Rates vary based on the location, the total area of the occupancy and the duration of the work. The Village will send you an invoice by email around two weeks after the occupancy period. 

If your occupancy lasts several months, you will receive a new invoice each month.

If you are applying on behalf of an organization, the invoice will be sent to the address that appears in the organization’s profile.
