Municipal Consent is the municipality’s authorization for a utility to occupy a specific location(s) within the municipalities right-of-way. Municipal Consent will only be issued to utility companies, commissions, agencies, other municipalities, or private applicants who have a municipal access agreement with the municipality applied to. The project of adding or modifying the plant is often subject to a Work in Right-of-Way permit.

Additional Conditions and Comments

A Municipal Consent is the authorization for a utility company to occupy a specific location within the Township’s rights-of-way.  The Township has standard alignments and corridors to avoid conflicts in the planning of projects occupying the Township’s rights-of-way and to minimize the impact of proposed work on the adjacent infrastructure. Municipal Consents are only issued to utility companies, commissions, agencies and private applicants who have the authority to construct, operate and maintain their infrastructure within the right-of-way as established through legislation, a Municipal Access Agreement (MAA) or a Franchise Agreement.

When do I need a Municipal Consent?
All utility work, with a few exceptions, within rights-of-way requires Municipal Consent (MC) from the Township and a Road Occupancy Permit (ROP) with the exception of Emergency Works. An ROP for utility works will not be granted until MC is granted by the Township.

Separate applications are required for projects that involve work at more than one location.

Municipal Consent fees are listed in Schedule 'G' on our Fees By-laws: By-Law-2024-105---By-Law-Fees.pdf.

Please apply at least 60 days before the planned start of the work. The official application date is the date that the Township of Uxbridge receives the application. An approved Municipal Consent is valid for a one year period from the date of issuance.  If the work is not completed in its entirety within the one year period, the Applicant must reapply for consent to locate the remaining work within the right-of-way.
