Parking enforcement, explained from the by-law
Reference guides for property managers, condominium boards, and anyone trying to work out what the rules actually say. Every legal statement is cited to the by-law it came from.
What signs does my private property need for parking enforcement?
Without valid signs, nobody can ticket or tow on your property. What the by-law requires, what Toronto approves before a vehicle can be towed, the thirty-minute visitor permit rule, and four signage problems the by-law expects you to have.
Who can issue parking tickets on your private property?
Only a municipal law enforcement officer can, and in Toronto that means someone certified by the Chief of Police working for a licensed agency. The three chapters that have to line up, the only three documents anyone may leave on a car, and five questions worth asking the company already on your property.
In progress: an explainer on Ontario's administrative penalty system and why municipalities moved parking penalties out of the courts, what to do after receiving a notice, and how the dispute process differs by municipality. Each is published only once it has been checked against the source.
