Municipal Addressing

For ease of wayfinding, a municipal address is assigned to all properties based on the location of the structures on that property. A municipal address consists of 2 parts:

1. the civic number; and
2. the street name

The civic number is assigned by the City of Pickering, City Development Department, according to specific, standard operating procedures under By-law 7686/19.

Mailing Address

Mailing addresses are different from municipal addresses as they include a postal code. Postal codes are assigned by Canada Post. If you have questions or concerns regarding postal codes, please contact your local Canada Post Office. The main Pickering postal outlet is located at 1740 Kingston Road, Pickering, and can be reached toll-free at 1.866.607.6301.

If you wish to update your mailing address with the City, please contact both the Finance Department, Taxation at 905.420.4614 or email Corporate Services, and the City Development Department at 905.420.4617 or email City Development.
