Civic Addresses

Civic addresses are assigned by the Township at the time a new lot (severance or subdivision) is established and when an entrance is being created or changed, whether or not there is a structure on the property.

A civic address must be obtained prior to the issuance of a building permit.

The Township is responsible to advise the 9-1-1 Operations Group, Fire, Police and Ambulance Services and the Property Tax Department. The landowner is responsible to advise all others as required.

The civic address number sign, post and blade must be maintained by the owner at all times.

The sign must be properly installed and your property access must be clear for emergency services.

If the post and/or blade subsequently get damaged, it is the responsibility of the property owner to purchase and install, or have installed, a new post and/or blade.

Removing Civic Address signs will affect emergency services and removal of any sign is a serious offence that should be reported to the OPP as well as the Township for immediate replacement.

Payment must be submitted with the application.

Fees:

• New Address: Post, Sign, Installation - $130
• Replacement: Post & Sign (you install) - $59
• Replacement: Post (you install) - $40
• Replacement: Sign (you install) - $19
• Replacement Installation - $35

Once the application and payment has been received, the Township will visit the location and measure/calculate the address number and install the proper signage.
