Transitioning from Old to New
Old Permitting System:
- Comprehensive data entry ceased on June 3rd, 2024, but some data is being entered on an as needed basis. The system will no longer be updated beyond June 10th, 2024.
- New document uploads ceased in January 2024. If a document is needed and cannot be located, please utilize the Public Records Request platform.
- Any permit numbers assigned between June 3rd and 10th will not be valid in the new system and will be assigned new numbers. Contacts associated with the permits will be notified of the change and the originally assigned number will be referenced on the new case.
- Permits submitted before the March building code change and are waiting on additional submittal documents will also receive new permit numbers.
- View the list of affected building permit numbers.
New System:
While our team members have done their best to transition data from one system to another, there were limitations resulting in the need to manually transfer some of the information (below list is not comprehensive):
- Inspection results/statuses
- Workflow
- Contacts
- Any transactions that occurred during the period of June 3rd - 10th
- Documents created after January 7th, 2024
- Important Note: Any expired or finaled permits will not have the above information updated unless absolutely necessary
At any given time, the Building Department typically has over 1,000 permits in process, and therefore, the permits will be updated on an as needed basis, and then as time allows. It is estimated that this process may take a year or more to complete.
