New Services Available: Mid-West Planning District has been granted authority to handle the permitting for ALL types and sizes of buildings. This includes new builds and renovations for all Part 2, 3, and 9 buildings. 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.

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.

Mid-West Planning District is located in western Manitoba and has four member municipalities.
(Rural Municipality of Ellice-Archie, Prairie View Municipality, Hamiota Municipality and Rural Municipality of Oakview)

The Planning District regulates all building in the municipalities and is responsible for building inspections, permits (development, building, plumbing, demolition, occupancy), planning (conditional uses, variances, rezoning), zoning memorandums, and fire safety inspections.
