Checking the Status of a Permit Application

Applicants have the ability to view the status of their permit application anytime by logging back into the permitting system with their established Username and Password (remember, they are case sensitive). Any outstanding items, notes, and departmental approvals would be visible in the Process Screen.

Permit Issuance

Once a permit has been approved and issued, the online permitting system will send out a notification to the applicant’s registered email address.  A PDF of the permit may also be printed at this time.  The Dashboard page of the online permitting system will display a PERMIT NUMBER upon issuance (e.g., W-20-xxxxx, S-20-xxxxx, etc.).  Work can commence once the permit card has been issued.
