Permit Planner
Thinking about a construction project and you're not sure where to start? Check out our new Permit Planner portal. This service platform lets you plan out your potential construction project by first checking if your project meets current Zoning allowances, and then walking you through your expected or potential scope of work to provide you with a list of the permits you'll need, and can also give you an upfront estimate of the permitting fees based upon your expected value of the project.
At the end, create a report to save and use as a guide. Click the button below to enter the Permit Planner portal to get planning today! Then move into our Civic Access portal to start applying for permits to get your project started.

EPL (Enterprise Permitting & Licensing) is our 100% digital online permitting platform while the Civic Access portal is the customer-facing side of EPL.
