How much does a garage cost in Toronto?
New garages and garage reconstructions permitted in Toronto, with their declared construction values.
The full spread, not an average
| Percentile | Declared value |
|---|---|
| P25 — smaller jobs | $20K |
| Median | $75K |
| P75 — larger jobs | $370K |
| Largest in sample | $8.5M |
688 permits with a declared value, trailing 36 months. Medians and quartiles only — one outlier can't move them.
Why two of these quote differently
- Detached versus attached, and whether the slab and footings are new.
- Size — a single versus double bay is close to a linear cost difference.
- Whether the roof is designed to carry a future laneway suite above it.
- Electrical service to the garage, increasingly for EV charging.

Where these numbers come from
Declared construction values on City of Toronto building permits (tier C), trailing
36 months, minimum 12 permits before a guide is published. A declared value is
what the applicant stated the work is worth — it can sit below final hard cost,
which is exactly why GROUND also publishes
awarded contract prices.
