Overview

A fourteen-page illustrated guide from Toronto's Municipal Licensing and Standards, linked from the Temporary Signs pages for A-frame, new development and portable signs. It describes the Business Licence and Permit Renewal Portal on Toronto.ca: creating a City login, linking a personal client number, the dashboard and licence page, uploading documents, downloading a licence, starting a renewal and paying the fee through the Licensing Services payment pages. A companion guide covers submitting a new application.
