Our Permits Online portal has existed for a while and it’s time for a renovation. We recently made some upgrades to make the permit process even easier for our customers.

Whether you’re a homeowner or work in the building trades, you can now easily use your mobile device to register for a Permits Online account. Permits Online is a one-stop shop to manage the permit process.

The customer permit portal uses cloud-based digital technology to ensure accounts are secure.
