Mississauga building officials completed more than 104,000 inspections in 2024, up almost 10 per cent from the previous year. From high-rise construction to home renovations, inspectors help projects navigate and meet all required regulations, which can improve the speed and cost of construction. As the housing crisis continues, it’s critical that cities build more homes, faster without sacrificing quality or safety.
Mississauga’s building officials work in a highly complex building environment. In 2024, more than 95% of the 11,627 units under construction in the city were high-rise apartments. High-rise buildings have unique structural, mechanical and safety features that make inspections more challenging than those in low-rise buildings. As part of the Building Permit process, Mississauga’s building officials ensure that construction complies with the Ontario Building Code and the Building Code Act.
The City is taking bold steps to ensure housing development continues despite difficult market conditions. Guided by the Mayor’s Housing Task Force, City Council recently approved reducing City residential development charges by 50 per cent – or by 100 per cent for family-sized units. Council has also approved the City’s new Official Plan which contains policies to boost residential growth by setting the framework to permit a total of 370,000 new housing units by 2051. Learn more about Mississauga's recent progress to kick-start housing development.
