To apply for a permit, residents and businesses start the process in our permit application platform called FIDO. Obtaining some permits is a fairly simple process; however, other permits will require applicants to submit architectural or other “plans” through a separate system called ProjectDox. This web page is a good place to start if you are new to submitting plans. We refer to all plans, submitted via ProjectDox, as “ePlans.” Review the information below based on whether you are submitting building plans or site plans.
For residential construction projects try our residential permitting wizard. It will walk you through the permitting process and provide written instructions you can print out and follow.
(The Getting Started web page will walk you through the ePlans process for obtaining buildings permits starting with your application in FIDO.)
