The City of Burlington's Driveways Bylaw regulates and provides specifications on the expansion of driveways and adjacent curbs on home properties. Unless your work is subject to a site plan approval, you must get a driveway permit before constructing a new driveway or widening an existing driveway.
Contact us at engpermitrequests@burlington.ca for a Driveway Permit Application Form or if you have any questions.
A driveway is a single passageway or series of interconnected passageways, for exclusive or shared private use, that provides access between a highway, condominium or common roadway and an area used for parking, loading or storing a vehicle.
Modifications to curb and/or sidewalk must be arranged for by the City of Burlington.
