Viewing the Permit Summary

You view a permit summary on the Overview page, where you get a snapshot of information regarding a permit with links to more detail.

When you access the details for a permit, you see a summary of the permit activity.

The header of the summary page displays the address of the primary parcel and its physical location on a map. This information is updated to show the latest activity. For example, when the primary parcel address detail is modified on the Property Information page, the same is automatically updated in the header and in the permit Overview page.

Only agency staff can update the date the application was received or withdraw an in-progress application on the Overview page. Both agency staff and the applicant can add a description of the application.

Tip: As agency staff, you can access this page on a phone as well as on a laptop or desktop computer. The layout and some functionality change based on the device you are using. For more information about using the overview page on a phone in the Oracle Inspector mobile application, see Viewing the Mobile Permit Summary.
