If you’re planning an activity or event that’s going to create a lot of noise during a certain timeframe, you can apply for an exemption to the Noise Control By-law in advance.
Submit a completed Noise Exemption Application and $277.52 fee (includes HST) by mail, email or in person. The fee is payable by cheque, debit, Visa, Mastercard and American Express.
We must receive your application a minimum of six weeks before your exemption date.
Mail your application to:
Enforcement Division
3235 Mavis Road
Mississauga ON L5C 1T7
Email your application to noise.exemptions@mississauga.ca.
To submit your application in person, you must first book an appointment. Once you have booked an appointment, you can visit the Enforcement Division office with your application.
You’ll need to apply for an exemption if your event will include a live band, music or amplified sound from:
If your event is for a community charity or organization, please contact your Community Liaison Officer.
You’ll need to apply for an exemption if you are a construction company and wish to operate construction equipment outside of regular hours from Monday to Saturday from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Construction noise is prohibited all day Sundays and on statutory holidays.
Once we receive your application, we’ll create and send you a notice to let local residents know about your exemption request.
You’ll need to distribute this notice to all residents and property owners within a 120-metre radius from the location subject to the exemption. We’ll provide you with a list of properties that need to receive the notice.
We’ll let you know how to distribute the notice, by either:
City staff will do random checks to confirm that the notice has been circulated.
Local residents will then have two weeks to contact the City to voice their concerns, objections or comments.
We’ll review the feedback from residents with your local Councillor to decide whether to grant your exemption. If your exemption is granted, we’ll send you a letter outlining what’s been approved.
If your noise exemption is approved for construction, you will need to send a final notice to residents within one week before the work starts. The notice will be provided to you by City staff.
