Building and Renovating in Midland

Through the building p​ermit application and inspection process, Building Services ensures that all building projects are safe, comply with minimum standards as set out in the Ontario Building Code as well as any applicable by-law of the Town of Midland and other applicable regulating bodies. Building Services is responsible for the regulation and enforcement of the Ontario Building Code. 

When thinking about any kind of construction or demolition work, it is essential to understand the process and requirements before beginning. Most construction projects, large or small, require that the property owner apply for and obtain a building permit.  Contact Building Services for questions.

2023 Building Permit Fees Review

The Town has retained Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. (Watson) to undertake a review of their building permit fees that:

  • Conforms with legislation and is defensible;
  • Balances the Town’s need to maximize cost recovery and ensure building permit reserve fund sustainability with stakeholder interests, affordability, and competitiveness; and 
  • Uses a methodology that is an activity-based costing approach to fully recover the costs of administration and enforcement of the Building Code.

In order to implement the recommendations from the fees review, a Public Meeting is required and then Council will consider the implementing By-law for adoption. A Public Meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, June 14th. View the Notice for more information. The following materials are provided for review and input from the public:
