We have adjusted our submission processes for all Planning & Building Permit applications.

Thank you for visiting Development Services “virtual” information page. With COVID-19, we have worked diligently to provide you with more virtual options to conduct business for your safety and our staff.
Effective March 2, 2021, Development Services is entirely digital. All permits and applications are available electronically and all payments may be made online, thus reducing, if not eliminating your need to visit in person. Permits, zoning amendments, subdivision, beverage cases, site plan and all other applications may be applied for online at ePermits. All plans for building or site plans are requested to be submitted electronically in Adobe PDF format and can be uploaded during you application process. All plans will be reviewed electronically using ePermitHub giving you instant access 24/7 to staff review comments.

Also, all inspection requests for building permits issued after November 1, 2020 may be made by telephoning 205-918-7762 for our IVR or texting “Schedule” to 844-752-6068. You can also request an inspection using Accela ACA at ePermits. For older permits, you may telephone 205-325-5321, and choose “Option 1” to speak to permit staff. IVR and SelecTXT options are available to you 24/7.

First time users, learn how to create a new account at ePermitJC Portal to learn how to apply for online permits/applications. To create a new online ePermitJC account, please visit ePermits. If you are actively pulling permits in person and would like to also start applying on ePermitJC portal, you need to connect your Licensed Professional to Your ePermitJC Account. Here's How.

As always, YOU are the reason we are here, and we want your experience to be exceptional. During these extraordinary times we appreciate your patience and understanding.
