• Communicate with your building department with time-stamped messages
• Pay for your building permit via e-transfer (sorry no credit card options)
• Request and submit changes to an existing building permit

How to get started:
To start, create your Cloudpermit account by visiting https://ca.cloudpermit.com/login. Cloudpermit currently supports Firefox, Google, and Safari browsers. Once registered, you can apply for building permits and track their progress online.
You will need to include the required attachments such as a site plan showing the placement of the structure and distances to the property lines, building plans and/or detail on construction and below are templates that can be used. New house construction and additions require complete set of drawings.
