City of Toronto staff has advised TREB of an increase in real estate related sign by-law violations. Compliance is important as we don't want to invite further regulation by government.
TREB encourages all Members to review the sign by-law to ensure compliance.

Municipal sign by-laws regulate all aspects of real estate signs and are intended to preserve and protect the appearance and safety of communities. Sign by-laws differ from one municipality to the next within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). For REALTORS®, this means the placement and duration of open house directional signs and for sale/lease signs are governed by municipal sign by-laws.
REALTORS® are responsible to comply with the municipal sign by-laws.
For additional questions on sign by-laws, please contact the municipality.
