Automated Services - Express Permits

Partial Suspension of Express Permits Online

The Construction Services Division is in the process of updating the permitting system in order to accommodate the new fee schedules.  We will begin collecting the new permitting fees for all new projects beginning January 5, 2009.  In order to accomplish this update, new trade permits and new projects will be temporarily suspended from being issued via Express Permits until the Housing Services System can begin posting the new fees.

In order to minimize the impact to our trade contractors we have temporarily created an Email Express Permits Service.  After completing the Express Permits Application (PDF, 333KB) click on the Email button, located in the top right-hand corner.  Please include your payment information in the body of the email. 

Please note, Adobe Reader version 8 or higher is required to fill out the application. 

Construction Services is committed to providing 24-hour turnaround for Express Permit applications received during this time.  The issued permit and payment receipt will be emailed back to you.

Please note:  For construction projects created on January 4, 2009 and prior, Express Permits will continue to be available to obtain additional permits and request inspections for the project .

We apologize for any inconvenience this temporary interruption may cause our customers.  We look forward to restoring Express Permits to 100% of its functionality.  If you have any questions regarding this new, temporary service please contact the Construction Services Center at 813-274-3100.
