Building and Planning

The City of Timmins' Building and Planning Divisions work together to plan and build a successful and sustainable city. Both divisions work to administer and manage a seamless and timely building and planning review and approvals process. Tightly coordinated efforts between the Building and Planning Divisions help to facilitate sound development and redevelopment in the City and improve the quality of life of residents.
