Common Questions

The City of Montreal charges a base permit fee of $9.80 per $1,000 of the project's total value. For residential properties, a minimum fee of $167.40 applies regardless of the project size.

Asphalt is the most budget-friendly option at $4 to $13 per sq ft, while interlocking pavers are a premium choice ranging from $20 to $45 per sq ft due to higher material costs and intensive labor.

No, curb cuts are separate. Montreal charges specific fees for city-performed curb work, such as $141 per square metre for asphalt or $632 per square metre for concrete sidewalk reconstruction.

With proper 12-18 inch excavation and a geotextile base, asphalt lasts 15-20 years, while concrete and interlocking stones can last 30+ years if maintained with regular sealing.
