Tips And Considerations

  • Consider any permits already configured and setting them up for renewal. Once configured this will not affect permits that are already in progress.

  • For renewable permits, workflow should be configured to allow inspections to occur before permit issuance (for example: Submitted, Accepted, Inspections, Permit issuance and Completed). This is different than the regular building permits where Inspection is configured after permit issuance in the workflow.

  • This is applicable to both Application and Renewal workflows configured in the Permit Type setup page for renewable permits.
