IT WILL SOON BECOME EASIER TO WORK WITH US!
The Department of Housing, Economic Development and Commerce has an exciting announcement that will affect how you apply for permits, upload or see documents and make payments – whether you are renovating your home, building a high rise, registering your rental property or applying for a cannabis license. As a homeowner, contractor, developer, taxi driver – anyone who needs a permit or license to do your work through HEDC, your experience is about to become simpler, with your application and all support materials – even making payments – in one place.
And it will be going LIVE on June 14, 2023!
