Start by creating an ePlans account if you haven’t already. Then log into ePlans and follow the steps to submit your pre-application meeting request with the Development Application Review Committee (DARC). This step also includes uploading your draft condominium plan.
Once we receive your pre-application meeting request, we’ll review the drawings and documents you’ve submitted, tell you what additional information is required, or any changes that should be made.
All feedback will also be available for you to view in ePlans.
When you’re ready to submit your application, log into ePlans and follow the steps to create a condominium development application request and pay the administration fee.
Shortly after submitting your request, you’ll receive an email that includes your temporary project number and an invitation to upload the required drawings and documents.
After you upload the drawings and documents, we’ll do a prescreen review to ensure the requirements are met. This usually takes three to five business days.
If we still need more information, we’ll email you. All prescreen corrections will need to be made by you in order to move ahead with the application process.
After the prescreen review, you will receive an email to pay your fees. To ensure there are no delays in processing your application, or having your application deemed incomplete, please submit your fee calculation worksheet for approval before any payment is made.
If you make an error in your payment, you will need to request a refund from the City which could take up to five business days to process.
When you’re ready to pay your fees, you have three options:
You can make electronic payments by electronic funds transfer (EFT) or wire transfer for planning application fees that exceed $30,000 and can’t be paid through ePlans or by email payment.
A $15 surcharge is applicable to all wire transfers. Please make sure this amount is added to your payment before transferring your payment to the City.
Please make sure that the information you provide in the form matches the information you send with your payment. This will prevent any delays in verifying and processing your payment.
Email the form to both the City staff member who requested the payment and to pb.eftpayment@mississauga.ca. In the subject line of your email please write “Electronic Payment” and include the file number and/or the property address.
The City staff member will email you the City’s banking information. Make the transfer through your financial institution and email the receipt to the City staff member who requested the payment and to pb.eftpayment@mississauga.ca.
You can make an Interac e-transfer payment for application fees that are less than $25,000.
When you make your payment it will be automatically deposited to the City. There are no reversals or cancellations.
You can use a credit card to pay for application fees that are less than $30,000. Credit card payments must be processed through ePlans.
Once we’ve received your payment, City staff will clear the payment condition. It can take up to two business days for us to receive the transaction information and for the payment condition to be cleared.
Once you’ve paid the fees, your application will be created and we’ll email you an application number.
Your application will be reviewed by the relevant City departments and agencies to make sure it meets all the requirements. You can view all of the comments in your “Project Status Report” in ePlans.
If any of the review groups have withheld your application you will need to resubmit revised or additional information. We’ll send you an “applicant resubmit” email telling you what to do next.
If you have any questions about the process please call 311 (905-615-4311 outside City limits) or email eplans.devdes@mississuaga.ca.
You can also contact your reviewers directly if you have questions about their comments. The phone number and email address for each reviewer is located on the first page of the “workflow – project status report” in ePlans.
