Municipal Addressing By-Law (09-050)

The City assigns addresses for all properties and buildings. The Municipal Address By-Law (09-050) ensures that the City uses a consistent system of addressing using Bell 9-1-1 standards. See this Municipal Addressing web page for more information and a copy of the Municipal Addressing Policy.

Requests for Change of Address

• Requests for a change of address related to 9-1-1 standards are free of charge.
• Requests for a change of address not related to 9-1-1 standards are subject to a $60 fee.

For more information, please email Andrew Nichols or call 705-742-7777 ext. 1678

Why is an addressing by-law necessary?

The Address By-Law:

• Ensures every occupied building and property has a unique address.
• Improves services from local government and utility companies.
• Provides emergency personnel a quick and effective way to locate addresses

In the event of an emergency at your residence, first responders need to be able to find your location quickly. Use the interactive tool below to verify your property address and ensure that additional units are accounted for. Missing addresses that are reported will be added to the provincial 911 database.

Address Memos / Notifications are sent out to key stakeholders and property owners when City addresses are modified or new addresses are created. Using the interactive tool below, search the list of Address Notifications from 2004 to the present day. You can search by individual addresses or by street name.

Control monuments

What is a control monument?

Control monuments are brass or metal disks in the ground. They measure locations and elevations and act as an exact point of reference to surveyors.

What is the municipal process for maintaining control monuments?

• Field checks monuments annually and reports results to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. Replaces destroyed monuments and adds new monuments.
• Maintains maps and GIS datasets of all monument locations.
