The City of Toronto Express Services Team held a meeting on December 3, 2024 to discuss the changes being made to the City’s permit process. Sign Association of Canada and the Ontario Sign Association members were invited to attend.
Please review the highlights from the meeting discussion in the SUMMARY.
Important Change: Now in Effect
As of Feb. 1, 2025, Inspection changes now require that the applicant provide a report for each permit prior to the closing of all signs permits.
- The report is to be authored by an engineer where required as per the Ontario Building Code (OBC).
- Where the OBC does not require a report be submitted by an engineer, the report is to be authored by the installing contractor.

To ensure that applicants are getting inspections in a timely fashion, inspection requests for mandatory stages are required.
