The Toronto Real Estate Podcast explores the complexities of front yard parking pads in Toronto, addressing common misconceptions and legal nuances. Peter Solti from Green Apple Landscaping, an expert on the matter, clarifies that many existing parking pads may be illegal due to outdated permits or changes in bylaws, and that the city only enforces parking laws when complaints are made. The discussion covers the costs associated with legalizing a parking pad, estimating around $15,000 or more, and notes that a legal parking spot can increase a home's value by $50,000 to $100,000. The hosts also highlight the impact of local councilors and ward-specific regulations on parking pad legality, as well as the importance of neighborly relations in the approval process.
