Everything from permit verification to towing coordination — handled professionally and documented every step of the way.
Permit Verification
Officers verify resident, tenant, or visitor permits and identify non-compliant vehicles before issues escalate.

Complete photo and written documentation of each violation including licence plate, make, model, time, and location.

Detailed monthly reports covering violation counts, patterns, warnings issued, and tows arranged — valuable data for property management.

Enforcement That Protects Your Property — and Your Reputation
Our officers enforce your parking rules professionally and by the book. Every violation is photographed, timestamped, and documented — so you have a clear record for disputes, and your tenants and customers have a fair, consistent experience.
Who We Serve
Built for Every Property Type
Every property has different parking challenges. Here's how we solve them for each client type.
Shopping Plazas
Customer parking is the lifeblood of any plaza. Non-resident vehicles, all-day parkers, and unauthorized occupants cost your tenants business. Our officers maintain a clean, accessible lot — keeping paying customers happy and tenants profitable.
Apartment Buildings
Unauthorized vehicles in residential lots create frustration, disputes between tenants, and liability for building owners. We enforce permit systems, manage visitor parking, and ensure every tenant has access to the space they're paying for.
Condominiums
Condo parking disputes are one of the most common sources of resident complaints. Our officers work with condo boards and property managers to enforce parking rules fairly, consistently, and with proper documentation — protecting the board from liability.
Private Businesses
Whether you run a medical clinic, restaurant, or office building — unauthorized parking in your lot sends the wrong message to clients and visitors. We keep your lot reserved for the people who matter: your customers.
Property Managers
Managing parking across multiple properties is time-consuming and politically sensitive. We take the enforcement burden off your team — handling violations, complaints, and documentation so you and your staff don't have to be the 'bad guy.'
Our Process
How Enforcement Works
A structured, fair, and fully documented 6-step process — every patrol, every time.
Patrol the Lot
Officer patrols on scheduled or randomized circuits, checking all vehicles against the active permit list or signage rules.
Identify Violation
Non-compliant vehicle is identified — no permit displayed, expired permit, unauthorized zone, blocking a fire lane or accessible space.
Document the Vehicle
Officer photographs the vehicle, records licence plate, make, model, colour, location, and time. All logged digitally.
Issue Warning or Notice
A printed warning notice is placed on the vehicle. Repeat violators are flagged for escalation per the property's enforcement policy.
Escalate if Required
If authorized by the property owner, repeat or serious violations result in towing coordination with our partner towing company.
Report to Property Manager
All activity is compiled into a monthly enforcement report delivered to the property owner or manager for their records.
Policy Development
Don't Have a Parking Policy Yet?
Effective enforcement starts with a clear, written policy that residents, tenants, and visitors can understand. Without one, enforcement is inconsistent, complaints are harder to resolve, and property owners face greater liability.
As part of our onboarding process, we help new clients develop a parking policy tailored to their property type, tenant mix, and enforcement goals — at no additional charge.

FAQ
Common Questions
Q.Do I need signage to enforce parking rules?
Yes — proper signage is essential for lawful parking enforcement in Ontario. Without clear, visible signs stating the parking rules and the consequences of violations (including towing), enforcement actions may be challenged. We can advise you on signage requirements and work with your property manager to ensure your lot is properly signed before enforcement begins.
Q.Can you tow vehicles without the owner's permission?
Under Ontario law, a property owner or their authorized agent (such as ApexGuard) can authorize towing of vehicles from private property that are in violation of posted rules. Towing is always a last resort — we follow a warning-first process and only tow when authorized by the property owner and appropriate under the circumstances.
Q.What if a vehicle owner disputes the warning or tow?
Every enforcement action is fully documented with photographs, timestamps, and written notes. This documentation protects you and us in the event of any dispute. We provide all documentation to the property manager and can support any follow-up process.
Q.Can you enforce accessible (handicap) parking spots?
Yes. Accessible parking spaces are among the most important to enforce — they directly affect residents and visitors with disabilities. We enforce these spaces as part of our standard patrol and document violations thoroughly.
Q.How often will officers patrol the lot?
Patrol frequency is customized to your property. Common arrangements include daily evening patrols for residential properties, multiple daily patrols for busy commercial plazas, and overnight checks for properties with overnight parking restrictions. We tailor the schedule to your needs and budget.
Q.Can you help us create a parking policy if we don't have one?
Absolutely. Many properties we work with don't have a written parking policy when they come to us. We help draft a clear, fair, and enforceable policy as part of our onboarding process — at no additional charge for new clients.
