The software accepts electronic payments, allows supporting documents to be attached and is available to homeowners without a contractor, since they can create their own account. Contractors, can also complete the application for their client for any type of building permit.  

Residents who wish to submit paper permit applications will still be able to do so.

"We think this is a good time to launch online permitting, and urge residents to file permits electronically to keep business going while minimizing social contact during the coronavirus pandemic," Town Administrator Jay McGrail said. He also appreciates that the new option is paper free and greener.
