Email notifications for new applications received

If you would like to receive an email notification when a new application is submitted by a contractor or community member, please fill out this form and we will set that up for you.

Option to add an electronic signature to permit documents

Now you have the option to add a signature to standard permit documents like:

Reference master and sub permits

In this update, we made some helpful changes to the way you view master and sub permits. Now, even if you are in a sub permit, you will still be able to see the master permit and sub permits associated with the master permit.
