Toronto heritage register: what comes off on January 1, 2027

The City of Toronto's Heritage Register holds thousands of listed (non-designated) properties, reported at around 4,000. Under the Ontario Heritage Act as amended by Bills 23 and 200, each one not designated, and without a notice of intention to designate (NOID) issued in time, leaves the register on January 1, 2027, and cannot be listed again for five years.

Why it matters for a site

A listed property needs 60 days' notice to council before demolition. Once off the register, that hold is gone. A property saved by a late NOID goes the other way: designation, with its permits and objection process.

The Toronto list

Every Toronto listed property expected to leave the register, and every one saved by a NOID or designation by-law, with address, outcome, council date and source. No owner names.
