Redoing or widening a driveway: each city’s rules

| Magog | No certificate under 6 spaces; resurfacing keeps the driveway as is, a complete rebuild must meet the rules | No certificate under 6 spaces; the area stays 1 m from the lot lines (0 m on a shared-wall side) | Written request to the City before any work; the owner has a competent contractor make the cut, at their cost (2026 Public Works rates: $37/m of curb, $111/m of sidewalk) | Access at most 6 m wide at the right-of-way line; one access per street, a U-shaped driveway counts as two |
We handle the paperwork with the City and schedule the curb cut before the paving. Each city page has the details.
