The City of Brampton will not process reimbursement forms received after July 31, 2023.

If you hired a snow-clearing service provider and you need to pay for the service in advance, you may submit your reimbursement form immediately; however, the City will not process the reimbursement forms until January.

A cash receipt for each occurrence of service is preferred; however, the City will accept a cash receipt for a one-time seasonal fee. If your snow-clearing service provider does not provide receipts, ensure that each occurrence of service is recorded on the reimbursement form including the date of service, the cost incurred and the service provider’s signature.

The City of Brampton only provides the financial assistance for clearing snow from sidewalk(s) and driveways, not the service. Residents are responsible for finding their own service provider.
