Permitting FAQ's

Permitting has three steps....

1.

Register

You need to register before you submit your first application - click here to register: REGISTER Now

Once you register, you do not need to register again.

If you work for a business, it's best to only have one registration in order to see all of your permits in one place.  If different people register separately from your business, they cannot work on each other's permits.

2.

Apply
