4 Steps to Apply for Online Permits

Step 1:   Register Online

Property Owners

Upon the completion of owner registration, an auto-response email with Customer#, UserID and Password will be sent to the owner applicant immediately.

Terms of Service must be accepted and will serve as an electronic signature each time you login to apply for a permit.

Contractors:

• Contractors must complete the online registration.  The Department of Development and Permits will then review & verify State License, Tradesman License, and Business License information prior to approval of ezPermits account. 

• If approved, an email with Customer#, UserID and Password will be sent to the contractor for access to the ezPermits system.
• Terms of Service must be accepted and will serve as an electronic signature each time you apply for a permit.

NOTE:  After the initial approval from the Department of Development and Permits, the applicant may use the Customer#, UserID and Password for future online permits.

The system will revalidate the applicant’s profile each time.

Step 2:  Complete Permit Application

Currently, the following permit types are available through the online ezPermits application:

Step 3:  Pay Your Permit Fee

You will be prompted to make an online payment after the permit application(s) is complete.

The City currently accepts only American Express,
Discover, and MasterCard credit cards.

Upon the successful processing of payment, you will receive a confirmation number.
