How do I submit a new application and/or simple permit?

As described in more detail on the Online services/New applications page, new applications may be submitted via the City's online permit portal:  

  • Simple permits: Simple permits are classified as a reroof, water heater, electrical service upgrade, sewer etc. and require payment before the application is accepted, so please be sure you have entered the correct record type and have entered accurate information before paying fees and submitting.
  • All other permits: Any other request can be accommodated through a Building Pre-Application, which will be used to start the review process. Submittal of Building Pre-Applications does not require any fees to start, but fees will be charged when the pre-application is converted to a Building Permit.
