📦 What's Included
Private Property Parking Signs — Built for Ontario Enforcement
Post clear, legally enforceable parking signs on your property. Our aluminium parking signs meet the minimum size standards recognised by Ontario municipalities and referenced under the Trespass to Property Act R.S.O. 1990, c. T.21, s.2 for private property posting requirements. Property owners, landlords, and facility managers across Ontario rely on compliant signage to enable towing enforcement and communicate parking restrictions to visitors and tenants.

Placement Guide
- At the entrance to every parking area or driveway where the restriction applies
- Spaced no more than 15 m apart along a restricted boundary
- Mounted at 1.5 m – 2.1 m from ground level to bottom of sign for clear driver sightlines
- Face the direction of approaching traffic or pedestrian flow
Pro Tip — Municipal Towing Enforcement
If you plan to have vehicles towed, contact your local municipality before posting. Cities like Hamilton, Brampton, and Mississauga require a licensed towing company designated for your property AND signs that state the towing company name and phone number. Our custom-text option covers this — note it in the order comments after checkout.
