City of Beaumont simplifies online permit application process

The City of Beaumont held a meeting on March 17, 2025, to discuss the streamlined process for applying for building permits online. The meeting focused on providing residents with clear instructions to facilitate their permit applications.

The session began with an overview of the online application process. Attendees were informed that the first step is to visit the City of Beaumont's official website at beaumontca.gov. From there, users should navigate to the building and safety section of the government page.

Next, participants were guided to select the option for applying for a permit plan review, which directs them to the Citizen Self-service Portal (CSS). Once logged in, applicants must search for the address associated with their permit request and proceed by clicking "next" after entering the address.

The meeting emphasized the importance of providing a detailed project description, including the square footage and valuation of the project. If there are additional individuals involved in the application, their information should also be included at this stage.

Furthermore, attendees were reminded to select any relevant items related to their project and to upload necessary documents, such as construction drawings, a completed application, and a site plan. The final step involves reviewing all details before submitting the application online.

In conclusion, the meeting highlighted the City of Beaumont's commitment to making the permit application process more accessible and efficient for its residents. By following these outlined steps, applicants can ensure a smoother experience when seeking building permits.
