Permit Manager - General Information

PRMD contracts with Accela Inc. to provide permit information on their VelocityHall™ Permit Manager website. This area of our website contains resources that will help you use the VelocityHall system.

You can check the status of any permit in our computer system (including building permit inspection results) on the VelocityHall site, whether the permit was obtained online or in our office.

On July 1, 2005 we began offering on-line permitting services. Licensed contractors who wish to use this service should familiarize themselves with the information provided here and follow the instructions on our Applying for an Online Permit page.
