The Ontario Fire Code (O.Reg 213/07) requires fire-route access lanes to be clearly marked and occupancy loads posted at every assembly space. Non-compliant signage can lead to municipal fines and orders to remedy. Fire inspections check this first.
Property signage requirements come from three published Ontario sources. Here is exactly what each one calls for — verify the specifics for your building with your local authority.
We are a private decal & sign supplier. These are the published display requirements — your building’s approved occupancy load and any local bylaw conditions are confirmed by your municipality or fire department.
Pick the situation that fits your property and we'll route you to the right signs, guide, or quote.

An occupancy load sign states the maximum number of persons permitted in a specific assembly occupancy space at one time. Under the Ontario Fire Code (O.Reg 213/07) and the Ontario Building Code, it is required for restaurants, event venues, gyms, theatres, meeting halls, and any space designated as an “assembly occupancy.”
The number on the sign must match the occupancy load approved by your local fire department and municipality during building permit and fire safety plan approval. It is not a suggestion — it is a legal limit designed to ensure safe egress in an emergency.
Without a properly posted occupancy load sign, an assembly space may be found non-compliant, which can lead to municipal fines or an order to remedy from a Fire Marshal or building inspector.
Your approved occupancy load is listed in your fire safety plan, building permit documents, or can be confirmed by your local fire department. For existing buildings, the original occupancy load can be retrieved through municipal property records or a Fire Marshal's compliance report.
Ontario Fire Marshals routinely audit commercial buildings. Fire route and occupancy load signs are first-check items — missing signage can lead to an order to remedy.
