    PermitLink is Now Live

    PermitLink replaces traditional paperwork and gives you the opportunity to submit requests through a fully automated system. Upload plans, schedule inspections, check on plan reviews, receive real time inspection results and respond to comments from County staff. Permit and re-inspection fees can also be made with a credit card or e-check through the secure PermitLink system.

    Visit the new PermitLink portal for all the latest updates.

    PermitLink went live on June 11. Based on initial feedback, the new system is providing a significantly improved experience, but as with all new processes there may be a few unexpected issues along the way. Rest assured, we are hard at work making the necessary adjustments and even more refinements will be made over the next few weeks. Thank you for your patience and understanding during the transition.

Please Note
Before accepting applications for rezonings, special use permits, and Board of Zoning Appeals variances, staff will verify that all real estate taxes owed for the subject properties have been paid in full in accordance with Section 24-24 of the County Code.

The certification can be completed by staff while you wait. If it is found that real estate taxes have not been paid, the application will not be accepted. If you are unsure if your payments are up-to-date, please contact the Treasurer at 757-253-6705.
