Permit Submittal Services :
** Medium scale building and land use permits at the Department of Permitting require completion of Permit Submittal Services (PSS) before formal permit application.
** The PSS process is designed to provide advance screening of a permit application prior to actual permit intake.

** The PSS process will provide applicants with specific feedback and identify technical red flags before the applicant submits the formal permit application.
** This feedback will allow the applicant to prepare a more complete and accurate application package which should make the permit review process simpler and faster.

** After completion of the PSS process, there are several options for permit intake; by appointment, by mail, or by drop-off.
