Permit Place, http://www.permitplace.com, a nation-wide permit consulting company and a leading supplier of permit information on the World Wide Web, announced today to the nation?s permitting jurisdictions, a revolutionary free opportunity to put their local building permit forms on line in a ?fillable? format.
Permit Place?s free service is targeted to local jurisdictions that wish to offer online applications to their citizens but do not have the resources to do so. Permit Place will accept any paper based permit application from any jurisdiction in the United States. Permit Place will scan it, check it for errors, and post it online for jurisdictions to link to for free.
Bob Robinson, CEO, veteran permitting consultant, explained, ?Our new system should save the citizens hundreds of trips on crowded freeways and countless hours waiting in line. It will also be a tremendous time and cost saver for government agencies.?
Permit Place does not plan to charge access to these forms. The forms will be free to everyone including jurisdictions, contractors, homeowners, and design professionals. Users will be able to fill out forms on line and print them on their own printers, ready for submittal. There will be no charge to the users for access to, or printing the filled out form.
In order for jurisdictions to participate, Permit Place requests that local jurisdictions do not fold their applications, but send them flat to:
The forms will be available in select major metropolitan areas beginning November 1, 2000. Beta testing will begin October 1, 2000 with the Puget Sound Basin and the Los Angeles area. Any jurisdiction that wishes to participate in the beta test can send their applications to the address above.
The service will begin in the Puget Sound and Los Angeles regions at the end of October, gradually expanding to 25 major metropolitan areas by late fall of 2001. All the nation?s jurisdictions are being urged to take part in this free service to consumers.
