Users who are registered can now:
- Apply for development, building and trade permits
- View the status of permits and applications
- Submit documents
- Make payments
- Renew contractor licenses
- Change passwords
“Now you can apply for permits and manage your projects on the go, even right from the job site,” said Mayor Scott Gillingham in a news release. “We’re modernizing services like Permits Online so it’s faster and easier for residents and builders to get projects moving and help Winnipeg grow.”
“Today’s improvements to Permits Online reflect our commitment to modernizing city services and making the permit process more accessible, efficient, and user-friendly for all Winnipeggers,” said Councillor Evan Duncan, Chairperson of the Standing Policy Committee on Property and Development in a news release.
“The redesign of Permits Online is reshaping how residents and developers interact with permit services,” said Hazel Borys, Director of the Planning, Property & Development Department in a news release. “We are offering a streamlined digital experience, using the convenience of your mobile device.”
The needed upgrade is part of an ongoing digital services expansion to continue to help speed up the rate of development.
