Yes. While simple resurfacing of an existing footprint may not require a building permit, any work on the city-owned boulevard requires a Street Work Permit, which has a minimum fee of $227.26 in 2026. New or widened curb cuts require a separate permit costing between $800 and $2,500.
Asphalt is the most budget-friendly option at $4 to $10 per sq ft. Interlocking pavers are a premium choice, ranging from $17 to $35 per sq ft in 2026, with a typical double-car driveway costing between $14,500 and $32,000.
Yes. Under Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 681, any new or expanded hard surface exceeding 50 square meters (538 sq ft) must use permeable paving or include a stormwater retention plan. Failure to comply can result in fines up to $25,000.
Asphalt driveways typically last 15 to 20 years, while concrete and interlocking pavers can last 30+ years. Longevity depends heavily on the base depth (8-12 inches of compacted granular material is standard for Ontario's freeze-thaw cycles).
