Where does Toronto publish planning applications?

On the City of Toronto Application Information Centre (AIC). It covers active Community Planning, Committee of Adjustment, and TLAB applications, with data refreshed daily.

Is a filing on AIC an approval?

No. A filing on AIC is evidence of an application — not an approval, permit, or occupancy. Confirm status and drawings on AIC before you treat a neighbour file as pipeline.

How does this desk show Toronto filings?

Toronto planning applications

Toronto publishes active planning files on the Application Information Centre (AIC). This desk pulls those filings, with Ottawa and Calgary, onto the Develop tracker so you can see what neighbours have applied to build before you offer.

What the city publishes

The City of Toronto says the AIC "provides information on all active Community Planning, Committee of Adjustment (C of A), and Toronto Local Appeal Body (TLAB) applications in Toronto," and that "Information is subject to change as data is refreshed daily." (Fetched 29 Sep 2026: https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/application-information-centre/) Community Planning covers Official Plan and zoning amendments, site plan, condominium, subdivision, and part-lot control. Committee of Adjustment covers minor variance and consent. A filing on AIC is evidence of an application — not an approval, permit, or occupancy.

How to read a Toronto file next to an offer

Search by address or file number on AIC, then open the application details for milestones, related files, and drawings. Official Plan / rezoning and site plan are different instruments: one can change the permissions; the other shapes how the building sits on the lot. A tall rezoning under review next door can support a rent thesis or explain a thin going-in cap — it does not change the building you can buy today. On this desk, Featured Toronto rows show name, status, storeys, and units with a link back to the official record. Confirm status and drawings on AIC before you treat a neighbour file as pipeline.

Lot check is a different question

Planning applications show what someone else filed. Lot check on Toronto parcels asks what your lot can yield under current zoning. Use both: the file for pipeline, the lot for your own envelope.
