SASKATOON — The City of Saskatoon launched its online building, development and plumbing permits application through the City of Saskatoon’s new ePermitting system Tuesday.
The ePermitting system will let people apply for permits, track the progress of the application and even request inspections digitally, reducing the need for in-person visits to City Hall and increasing transparency around the permitting process.
“The ePermitting system will allow the permitting process to become inherently digital. It houses a vast library of pre-configured permit types to meet most business needs, includes email notifications that are automatically triggered and offers mobile capacity to support field inspection staff,” said Building Standards Director Kara Fagnou
Service Saskatoon and Building Standards staff will still be available via phone, or where needed, in person, but the ePermitting system will remove the need for most residents and businesses to travel to City Hall for permitting assistance.
“The launch of ePermitting is a key step for Building Standards toward its goal of being a national leader in permit turnaround times. We are always looking for ways to streamline and improve our business processes. 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,” Fagnou added.
