City Hall Renovation

City Hall Modernization Project

Work to renovate the main floor of City Hall is complete. The new open space provides easy access to customer service counters for Service Burlington and Building, Renovating and Licensing, as of July 11, 2013.

The City Hall Modernization Project is one of 22 recommendations from the Red Tape Red Carpet Task Force report, and was approved by City Council in September 2019.

• a light-filled lobby featuring a larger, furnished customer area that can double as a space for City events as required
• customer service counters with adjustable height, for improved accessibility
