The Orillia Municipal Heritage Committee's first task is to identify local structures of architectural and/or historical interest.

This can range from an individual property to a whole neighbourhood or district. Members of the Municipal Heritage Committee research the property's history and architecture, and photographic records are made.

Council, Municipal Heritage Committee, property owner(s) or the public can initiate the designation process. The process includes a detailed report on the heritage significance, an application to Council, public notice of intention to designate, the passing of a by-law and the designation registered on title.
