ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Upcoming Office Closure: December 20, 2025 - January 4, 2026 - Holidays Break (Back on Monday, January 5th, 2026)
New Services Available: Mid-West Planning District has been granted authority to handle ALL building permits regardless the size or occupancy type. This includes new builds and renovations. We strongly advise to schedule a pre-project consultation (call, meeting, on-site visit) to make sure you have everything you will need for your application and any planning applications that may be necessary before a permit can be issued.
Discontinuing Cloudpermit: We are no longer going to be using Cloudpermit for application submissions or permit management for Building, Development, Demolition and Plumbing permits.
MWPD Remote Office Hours are done for the 2025 build season. Check back in the new year for next year's schedule.
REMINDER:
An approved Conditional Use Order or Variance Order does not equal a building or development permit. Once you receive an approval for a Conditional Use or Variance, you will still need to apply for and be granted either a development or building permit before you can start your project. Starting work on your project before the development and/or building permit is issued may result in penalty fees and/or a Stop Work Order.
A development permit does not equal a building permit. You may be granted the development permit while your building permit is under review. Starting work on the project before the building permit is issued may result in penalty fees and/or a Stop Work Order.
