Cloudpermit

Cloudpermmit_computer

We are using Cloudpermit to allow you to submit Building, Development, Demolition and Plumbing applications online.

During this initial launch phase, we will still be taking physical applications, but we encourage trying our online portal. This will speed up the application process and will be more transparent.

The Cloudpermit building permit system allows you to apply for and to see the status of your applications. You can start an application and finish it later, and receive email updates on the status of your permit application. You can request building inspections with inspection results sent to your email!

Sign up and start your permit application today!

How to submit an application

Any Planning applications, Fire Inspection requests or Zoning Memos will require requests/applications to continue to be emailed, mailed or faxed in. If you have any questions or issues, please contact us.
