County staff previews Cloud Permit e-permitting rollout to speed plan review
Summary
Staff said the county is working with Cloud Permit to build an e-permitting workflow; implementation will be phased with staff-only processing first and a public launch after internal testing and training.
County staff briefed the board on plans to adopt an electronic permitting platform (Cloud Permit) to streamline plan intake, review, and inspection scheduling. Staff said the county is in early implementation stages: initially staff will process submittals internally through the system until testing and training are complete, then the platform will be opened for public-facing permit applications.
Staff said they will collect a list of neighboring jurisdictions that use Cloud Permit and provide a timeline for rollout to the board at a future meeting. Chapen and code staff noted that e-permitting should improve coordination between zoning, plan review, and code enforcement and reduce repetitive data entry for applicants and staff.
Why it matters: E-permitting can shorten turnaround for applicants, improve data sharing across departments, and reduce paper handling; the phased staff-first approach is intended to reduce public disruption during deployment.
What’s next: Staff will produce a rollout timeline, identify jurisdictions using the platform, and report back to the board on estimated launch dates and training plans.
