New businesses are still required to be licensed. New licence applications may be submitted by email to bylaw@vaughan.ca, along with scanned copies of required documentation. Payments can be made by cheque and mailed to Vaughan City Hall at 2141 Major Mackenzie Dr., Vaughan, ON, L6A 1T1.

To arrange an alternative method of payment or to schedule an appointment to dispute the ticket, call Access Vaughan at 905-832-2281 within 15 days of receiving it. Failure to do so may result in extra fees and penalties.
