PLANNING APPLICATION SUBMISSION PROCESS
 

The City of Vaughan has developed a process that will allow us to receive and process planning development applications online. Please refer to the following application in-take process:

 

1.    Online applications are now being accepted via the Service Vaughan portal. Applicants are required to create an account. Organizations submitting multiple applications are encouraged to create a generic account so all applications can be viewed and stored under one user account.

 

2.    Application submissions are initially screened by Planning Technicians and any questions during the application process can be forwarded to:

 

land west of Hwy 400: Dulaa Osman: Dulaa.Osman@vaughan.ca

land west of Hwy 400: Michelle Perrone: Michelle.Perrone@vaughan.ca

land east of Hwy 400: Nicholas Del Prete: Nicholas.DelPrete@vaughan.ca

 

3.    Applicants must ensure all required documents are ready for submission before any application will be screened.

 

4.    Upon satisfactory screening, payment will be required via cheque(s). Applicants are required to ensure the current payment amount in consultation with a planner, prior to submission of the cheque. 

 

5.    Applicants can check the status of their application any time through their portal account. Requests for additional information will be sent via email to the address noted in the applicant account and will be noted on the portal status.
