The actor snapped up the Carse of Gowrie retreat, which is a listed building, last May for £2.35million.
The local authority received the complaint on Tuesday and the investigation is “pending consideration”.
But no further details have been released, reports The Courier.
It’s understood the issue will be resolved by March 19.
Council planning documents show proposals were approved last year for a garage to be demolished and replaced with a new one.
And McGregor was given the green light to create a new master bedroom and a single-bathroom suite.
Perth and Kinross Council was approached for comment.
The Star Wars and Trainspotting star has been spotted regularly in the area and it is understood he will now split his time between Scotland and Los Angeles.
He recently posed for photographs at Heather Street Food in Dundee as he visited the V&A museum.
His huge mansion comes with a gate lodge and a courtyard of outbuildings and has more than 15,000 sq ft of living space on three floors, with a two-bedroom flat, stores and a wine cellar on the lower ground floor.
The accommodation includes an entrance hall, three reception rooms, a billiards room, family room, study and a 1930s hothouse/conservatory.
McGregor recently revealed he is scaling back his acting career to spend more time at home with his new wife and son.
The actor said he is “very much in love” with Mary Elizabeth Winstead and their two-year-old son Laurie and doesn’t want to spend long periods of time away from them.
He married Mary, 37, in April 2022 in a low-key ceremony near their home in Los Angeles.
The couple have been together since 2017 after meeting on the set of TV comedy crime drama Fargo.
The actor also spoke about how much he misses Scotland in an interview at Comic Con exhibition in Edinburgh last year.
