City finds success in online permit applications

Thanks to technology, Calgary homebuilders are saving time and money.

Back in April 2013, the City launched Residential E-Permit, an online tool allowing builders to get their necessary permits.

The City reports 24 homebuilders representing more than 80 per cent of the new home construction market now apply online.

According to estimates, 65 per cent of single construction permits are now paperless and take less than 10 minutes to complete.

Eventually, municipal officials hope to process all residential permit applications via the computer.
