​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​A residential driveway is a hard and lev​el surface where vehicles can drive and p​ark. A driveway may consist of asphalt, pavement, concrete, patterned concrete, compacted gravel/dirt, interlocking brick and paving stone. The driveway includes walkways and borders that run parallel to the parking surface, and extends to the street edge.

The City of​ Brampton regulates driveway dimensions in order to maintain proper drainage and appropriate community standards.

Dimensions

In general, the maximum permitted width of a driveway is based on the total width of the property.

In addition, you must maintain 0.6 metres (2 feet) of landscaping between your driveway (paved surface) and the property line for drainage purposes. Please contact Zoning Services at ZoningInquiries@brampton.ca to find out about how wide your driveway may be if you own a pie-shaped, irregular or corner lot as additional re​strictions may apply.

A Driveway Permit is required to cut the municipal curb. For more information about obtaining a Curb Cut Permit please, click here.​​​​
