    • Permit Process Overview

    Development Services is offering virtual permit center meetings to allow customers to schedule one-on-one online time with staff to receive assistance with general permitting questions. Customers can schedule virtual permit center meetings with permit technicians and plan reviewers to get answers to general permit questions. 

    • For information about permits and the permitting process, please visit our Permits page.
    • Virtual permit center meetings will be approximately 15-20 minutes long.
