Toronto's green roof bylaw, adopted in 2009, mandated green roofs on new commercial, institutional, and residential developments with a minimum gross floor area of 2,000 square metres. The bylaw led to more than 1,200 green roofs across Toronto. However, the Ontario provincial government repealed the bylaw in 2025, making green roofs voluntary to reduce costs and speed up housing construction.
