Each panel meets at the Civic Centre where the Municipal Licensing and Standards offices for the area are located; currently, the Etobicoke, Toronto, Scarborough and North York Civic Centres.

Hearings generally commence at 9:30 a.m. and may last from 1 to 5 hours depending on the number and complexity of appeals.

Meeting management support for the Property Standards Committee and its four hearing panels is provided by Secretariat staff in the City Clerk's Office.

Meetings of Fence Viewers are held infrequently and only when fence issues arise between neighbours. No arbitration or other proceeding requiring the attendance of fence-viewers shall take place between November 1 and March 31 in the next following year.
