Mississauga Concrete Contractor · Reformity Inc.Concrete & Asphalt Driveways in Mississauga
In Mississauga, concrete and asphalt jobs are often replacements: worn asphalt driveways and heaved concrete walks and steps at older bungalows and side-splits in Applewood and Cooksville, and cracked, settled driveways in Meadowvale and Erin Mills. Resurfacing needs no building permit, but the Zoning By-law still sets a standard: driveways need a stable surface at least 15 cm deep, drained so water doesn't pool or run onto neighbouring land. We set the base depth and the slope to meet it.

Concrete & Asphalt permits in Mississauga
Resurfacing a driveway or pouring a concrete pad needs no building permit in Mississauga, but a new or wider curb cut needs an Access Modification Permit and the layout has to fit the frontage-based width limit; Reformity draws the dimensioned plan and files the application.

Driveway widening
A widening doesn't need a building permit, but changing the curb cut does. Since By-law 0182-2024, the maximum driveway width depends on lot frontage (3.0 m, 6.0 m or 8.5 m).
Driveway By-law 0182-2024 (PDF)Site alteration & grading
Lot Grading By-law 0172-2020 requires an approved grading and drainage plan, certified by an engineer or Ontario Land Surveyor, plus City deposits, before you build a retaining wall over 0.6 m, an in-ground or on-ground pool, a basement walkout or a side-door entrance. It also bars altering a lot's grading and drainage without the required approval, so we confirm with the City before any significant regrade.
Lot Grading By-law 0172-2020 (PDF)Heritage districts
Mississauga has three heritage conservation districts: Meadowvale Village, Old Port Credit Village and Streetsville. In Old Port Credit Village and Streetsville, a heritage permit is needed for fences, decks and porches in the front yard (and in some cases the side yard), for sandblasting, chemical or pressure cleaning of a facade, and for painting unpainted masonry. In Meadowvale Village, fences, driveways, cladding and chimney work need a Clearance to Alter, and widening a driveway needs a Heritage Property Permit.
City of Mississauga: heritage approvalFront-yard paving
For a detached home, Mississauga's Zoning By-law requires at least 40% of the front or exterior side yard that holds the driveway to stay soft landscaping in RL (large-lot) zones, and 30% in RS (small-lot) zones. Driveways, walkways and interlock don't count as soft landscaping, and you can only park on the driveway or in the garage, not on the lawn.
Zoning By-law Table 4.2.1 (PDF)Driveway surface & setbacks
Mississauga's Zoning By-law requires a driveway to have a stable surface at least 15 cm deep (asphalt, concrete, pervious materials or another hard surface), drained so water doesn't pool or flow onto adjacent land. For a detached or semi-detached home, it must also stay at least 0.6 m from the side and rear lot lines, except a lot line shared with an attached semi or townhouse.

Mississauga Concrete & Asphalt FAQ
Quick answers.
Only if the driveway and pad together stay within your lot's maximum driveway width, which for most lots is 3.0 m, 6.0 m or 8.5 m depending on frontage. Mississauga counts any continuous hard surface that can be used for parking as driveway; the exception is one walkway per side that meets the driveway along no more than 1.5 m. A pad can also cut into the soft landscaping your front yard must keep.
