Moving to Longueuil
Longueuil had 254,483 residents in the 2021 Census, and nearly one household in two rented its home (47.7%). Small buildings lead the way: 49.1% of occupied dwellings were in a building of fewer than five storeys, against 31.9% single-detached houses. People move here often, since 12.0% of residents had changed address in the previous year, and 43.8% over five years.
Since the 2006 demergers, the city has had three boroughs: Vieux-Longueuil, Saint-Hubert and Greenfield Park. It grew up as a crossroads, with the railway, the bridges to Montreal and the country’s first civil airport. If you are moving into Vieux-Longueuil, you will be in one of the city’s three heritage sites, which groups more than 950 buildings there. Some work goes before the local heritage council before the City approves it.
A truck or container that takes up the street or sidewalk needs a permit to occupy public property: without one, the occupation is not allowed. The form is sent by email to the by-law department, and the by-law specifically covers storing belongings and waste containers. Between November 1 and April 15, keep an eye on snow clearing notices: as soon as the City issues one, street parking is banned from midnight to 6 a.m., with a fine.
To empty the house before you leave, the bulky item collection covers residential areas. A business has to use a private service instead. The agglomeration’s three ecocentres are free for residents, owners and tenants alike, up to 12 visits a year per address, and each unit in an apartment building counts as an address. At the gate, you will be asked for proof of residence and the vehicle registration certificate. The vehicle cannot be longer than 7.5 metres, trailer included, and you unload it yourself, by hand.
On July 1, the Marie-Victorin and Payer ecocentres keep their usual hours, which helps when you are emptying a home that same day. As for wheeled bins, they stay at the home they were delivered to: they belong to the City, not to whoever lives there.

Questions about moving in Longueuil
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck on the street in Longueuil?
Yes, as soon as the truck or a container takes up the roadway or sidewalk. It is a permit to occupy public property: you fill in the City’s form and email it to its by-law department.
Are the ecocentres open on July 1?
Yes. Marie-Victorin and Payer follow their usual hours on Canada Day.
How many free ecocentre visits do I get?
Twelve a year per address, for the agglomeration’s three ecocentres. In an apartment building, each unit counts as an address. At the entrance, show proof of residence and the vehicle registration certificate.
Do my bins come with me when I move?
No. Wheeled bins belong to the City and stay at the address they were given to. The next occupant will use them.
