Toronto office moves start with a business handoff plan, not a household checklist. Define workstations, files, furniture, shared equipment, vendor-owned technology tasks, dock access, floor sequence, and the point when each team can resume work.

Parking
Toronto’s commercial loading zones are public space for active loading or unloading, with no exclusive right for one user. Check the posted operating times; a nearby loading sign does not reserve a bay for the full duration of a move.[1][2]
Permit
For temporary street occupation, Toronto requires dates, times and a plan of the proposed area. The permit cannot extend beyond the property’s street frontage unless the adjoining owner gives written consent and waives related claims against the City. Confirm the applicable permit with Right of Way Management for the actual equipment and address.[3]
Change of address
Under Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 545, a licence holder who changes address must notify Municipal Licensing and Standards within 48 hours. This applies to holders governed by that licensing chapter; it is separate from updating the business’s CRA addresses or arranging delivery to its new premises.[4]
Change of address
The CRA distinguishes a business’s physical, mailing, and books-and-records addresses. The physical address must identify where everyday operations occur; records stored at another location must also be reported. A household-goods delivery or mail-forwarding order does not update these business records.[5]
Building rules
Canada’s moving checklist calls for elevator, stairway and parking access to be reserved or cleared at both addresses. Notify the landlord or building manager of the arrival time and confirm the actual building arrangements before assigning the crew’s unloading window.[6][7]
Rules
Toronto Code Chapter 545 requires a fee when a licence holder requests an amendment outside licence renewal. Its address-notification obligation is separate. For a licensed office or establishment, confirm the applicable municipal amendment before assuming a federal address update changes the local licence.[4]
Parking
Toronto’s temporary resident/guest permits are not general commercial-truck permits. Eligible vans or pickups must meet personal/family-use conditions, a maximum length of 5.2 m and registered gross weight of 3,000 kg.[8]
Parking
A Toronto temporary permit does not override parking prohibitions or temporary snow-removal restrictions. It is non-transferable and non-refundable, and applies only at the signed locations and times allowed by the permit rules.[8]
