To send these notifications, from either the Expired or Expiring permit tabs click Expiration Notifications.

CommunityConnect
Contractor Self-Registration (non-validation)
New optional feature!
We have heard your requests to allow contractors to self-register online. We are rolling out this feature in phases. The first phase, rolled out now, is non-validation, which means that you do not have to approve the contractor's registration before they are able to access the CommunityConnect and apply for a permit online.
What it means for you
- Contractor's can self-register for a CommunityConnect account and create their contractor profile in your jurisidction.
- Contractor's that self-register their company will automatically have access to apply for permits online in your jurisdiction.
- In this phase, you will not be notified when a new contractor registers.
✨Want to enable this feature for your contractors?
Fill out this quick form to enable contractor self-registration in your jurisdiction. After we enable this feature, we will send you a link that contractors and community members in your jurisdiction can use to register.

Change CommunityMember to Contractor
You can easily now change a Community Member to a Contractor user.
Easy switch: Change to Contractor user
If the community member user is in multiple jurisidctions, you will receive an error message and will not be able to change the user with this process. In these scenarios, please reach out to Support.
