Tow-away signs, reserved spot signs, and no parking notices, supplied and installed across Ottawa and Gatineau. The signage is what you pay for, and it is what lets us legally remove a vehicle when you call.
Signage is where any real enforcement plan begins. Ottawa Parking Enforcement handles the signs that make on-call towing hold up legally, and we work with property managers, condo boards, and business owners around the region. Getting the signs right is the part that protects you later, so it is the part worth doing properly.
A sign is not just a piece of metal on a post. It is the legal grounds we rely on to remove a vehicle from your lot, so the wording has to line up with Ottawa bylaws and Ontario property law, and the placement has to put it in front of every driver who pulls in.
We take care of the whole job, so you are not sourcing signs from one place, hiring someone else to mount them, and then chasing down warranty issues when a plow takes one out. It is one quote and one crew, start to finish.
Every sign is printed on 3mm aluminum composite, and the vinyl is rated to take what an Ottawa winter throws at it. We still have signs standing in lots around the region from installs we did years ago.
We do not just bolt signs to a wall and leave. Where a sign sits, how high it is, and what it says all affect whether a tow holds up when a driver challenges it, so there is an actual process behind it.
The on-site work usually wraps in a single day. From quote to mounted sign, the whole thing tends to run seven to ten days once the print run is in. If you are handing over a new condo and need it sooner, we can usually move a rush job up.
Without proper signage, a tow can be reversed. A driver claims they had no warning, and the property owner can be the one left paying for it. Ontario courts and tribunals tend to look at the signage first, before anything else, so it carries a lot of weight.
The signs we design have to clear two bars. The wording has to match the bylaws we enforce under, and the placement has to be readable from where a driver actually sits in the car. Meeting both is what keeps a tow defensible afterward.
Our crews are out across Ottawa and Gatineau most days, on everything from downtown office towers to suburban retail plazas and condo entry gates. Wherever your property sits in the region, there is usually a crew working nearby.
For sites on the Quebec side, we install bilingual signs so the same wording holds for both jurisdictions.
Signage is the part you pay for, and it is also the part that makes everything after it possible. Once the signs are posted, you call us when a vehicle ignores them and we come deal with it. That is the whole arrangement, with no patrol contract to keep paying for in between.
The towing side is covered on our private property towing page. When a car parks where it should not and you want it gone, that is the call we answer once your signs are up.
Salt, plows, and the occasional clipped bumper take a toll on signs over a winter. We check every install once a year, and if a sign is faded or damaged we replace it at cost so your coverage does not lapse.
You can also reach us any time in between. If a sign comes down in a storm or gets clipped by a delivery truck, we can usually have a replacement up within a few business days.
