CityView Permit Portal

Permit applicants are required to use our CityView Permit Online Portal for all submissions. Paper applications will no longer be accepted. 

Online Portal Features and Services 

• Apply for building, zoning, and engineering permits
• Register as a Contractor
• Submit land use applications
• Track project status
• View permit status
• Receive real-time inspection results
• Pay all fees online  

To use all the services and features the online portal offers, you must register and create a user account.  Users can log-on and work on the permit over a period of time.  Information is saved after each visit so users can pick-up where they previously left off. Important documents can be uploaded and fees are automatically and correctly calculated. Users complete the transaction with a credit card payment. Once the permit is submitted, users can log-on and track its progress. A history of all transactions are kept in the users account.  

A computer kiosk is available in each of the three offices so people can apply for a permit in person.  Staff is happy to assist and answer questions.
