This coverage must remain valid for the duration of the permit. If insurance coverage expires during the valid permit timeframe, updated coverage shall be re-uploaded to the portal site by the applicant – an email will be sent to notify of upcoming insurance expiry.
Road and Public Works Permits
Permit Central
Permit Central is the online portal for Roads Operations Permits. To apply, you must first complete a one-time registration to create your login. Once registered, you can submit permit applications and payments directly through the portal.
Note: Not all permits are processed through Permit Central. This may change over time.
Public Works Permits and Applications
Permits are required for activities like road cuts, entrance installations, and oversize load transport to ensure safety, protect road infrastructure, and meet Township regulations. They help manage the impact of construction and transportation on the road network. See below for details on permit requirements.

Civic Address Application
A 911 sign (Civic Address Signage) helps visitors and emergency services locate your property in the event that your property does not have an address sign.
Please contact the Public Works Administrative Assistant to obtain a new or replacement Civic Address Signage.
- Fee: $70.00
Concrete and Interlocking Driveways
The Township will not be responsible to repair a concrete or interlocking driveway if the culvert needs repair or replacement due to heavy frosting or construction. With the agreement of the property owner, the Township will have the driveway paved at the cost to the Township.
Call Before You Dig

Ontario One Call alerts the infrastructure owners of your digging plans and contact information. Infrastructure owners can then provide locates, drawing, and/or clearances, lowering the risk of property damage, lost of utilities, injury, and penalties/fines.
Locates can be markings on the ground or a statement/email from the infrastructure owner that its buried infrastructure will not be affected by the digging.
You can visit the Ontario One Call website to learn more about their services.
