HUMBOLDT — The City of Humboldt announced it has launched a new online building and development ePermit system on the City’s website.
The new system will allow developers, builders, and residents to apply for permits, track the progress of the application and request inspections digitally, reducing the need for in person visits to City Hall and increasing transparency around the permitting process, said a release from the city’s website.
This digital building permit process benefits both municipal staff and the community by improving efficiency, communication, and file management with paperless, 24/7 access to applications outside of municipal business hours, while providing real time updates and email notifications on the status of an application, the city said.
“The ePermitting system will allow the permitting process to become inherently digital. It has preconfigured permit types to meet most needs, includes email notifications that are automatically triggered, and offers mobile capacity to support field inspections,” said Mike Kwasnica, Chief Building Official for the City.
Applicants are can use the new system at the city’s website at humboldt.ca.
They are welcome to contact the City for additional guidance. Planning staff are available via phone at 306-682-2525, by email at planning@humboldt.ca, or in person at City Hall.
“The City is always looking for ways to streamline and improve our business processes,” the release said. “To support ePermitting we have also streamlined our internal workflows and updated many of our procedures to help meet customers’ needs in the most efficient way possible.”
