Building Inspection

Effective Immediately:

The Municipality of the County of Pictou continues to see record development and nowhere is this more evident than in our Building Services group. To help streamline our processes and deliver the highest levels of service possible during this building boom, the Municipality has introduced new approaches to process your building permit applications. These will include new online resources, administrative assistance, and dedicated appointments with our Building Officials, among other aids.

To book an appointment with MOPC Building Officials you can email buildingpermits@munpict.ca .   You can also call 902-485-4588 to speak with Mike McKenzie, 902-485-2243 to speak with Travis Spears or 902-485-2248 to talk with Cody Avery. 

MOPC Building Officials now require appointments during business hours due to the higher volume of building permits being processed in the Municipality of Pictou County.   

We look forward to working with you on your next development as we continue to experience and promote the sustainable growth and development of our beautiful region.
