If you own or manage a private lot anywhere in Ottawa, you already know how it goes. The spaces you set aside for tenants, customers, or staff get taken by whoever could not find a spot on the street. Ottawa Parking Enforcement puts an end to that. We install the signs that make your lot enforceable, and once those are up, we are the call you make when a vehicle parks where it has no business being.
We work out of 1440 Prince of Wales Dr., which keeps us central to the city and quick to reach most properties. Call (613) 362-3362 and a real person picks up.
There is one cost on your side, and that is getting compliant signs installed. After that, the whole thing runs on a phone call. When a vehicle breaks the posted rules, you let us know and we come remove it. There is no patrol contract ticking away in the background and no monthly minimum, so the lot only gets our attention when you actually want it.
That is the part owners tend to like. You are not signing up for a service that bills you whether anything happens or not. You pay for the signage once it is in, and the enforcement after that is ours to run.
Parking trouble in Ottawa does not look the same from one property to the next, so we do not treat it that way. Over the years the lots have mostly fallen into a few groups.
None of the enforcement holds up without proper signage, so that is always where we start. Without signs that meet Ontario's private property rules, a tow can be reversed and the property owner can end up wearing the cost. We sort out the wording so it lines up with the bylaws, then mount the signs where every driver coming in will actually see them.
Once your signs are posted and a car ignores them, the private property towing side takes over. We match the truck to the vehicle and the lot, document the tow with photos and timestamps, and follow Ontario's private property rules the whole way through. If a driver disputes it later, the file is there to back you up.
We run this day or night, right across the city. If you also have a property on the Quebec side, we cover Gatineau from the same office.
Tell us what is happening on your property and we will come walk it. You pay for the signage, and the enforcement after that is on us to handle. No long contract to sign before you see how we work.
Call (613) 362-3362The cost on your side is the sign installation. That covers the wording, the signs themselves, and getting them mounted to meet Ontario's rules. The price depends on the size of the lot and how many signs it needs, so call (613) 362-3362 and we will quote it. Once the signs are up, the enforcement is ours to handle when you call.
No. There is no patrol contract or monthly minimum. You pay for the signage once, and after that you call us when a vehicle is in violation. Some owners call us most weeks and some call a few times a year, and both work fine.
Most calls get a unit on site within 30 to 60 minutes, though it depends on where the property sits, the time of day, and the weather. A bad winter storm can add a little time. We will give you an honest arrival window on the phone before anyone is dispatched.
Yes. Owners and their authorized agents can enforce posted parking rules on private property in Ontario, as long as the lot is signed properly first. That is exactly why the signage matters so much, and why we will not tow off a lot that is not signed to standard.
We take a look at what is already up. If the signs are compliant and current, there is no reason to replace them. If they list a number for a company you no longer deal with, we swap those out so a towed driver reaches the right team.
