Driveways


​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​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 metr​es (2 feet) of landscaping between your driveway (paved surface) and the property lin​e 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.
