for applicants, customers, planners, builders and designers.
This grant program is designed to provide financial support to cities and counties seeking to transition from paper to digital permit review processes in order to address housing shortages
in their jurisdictions and, collectively, across the state.
Funding details
Grants of up to $375,000 are available and will be prioritized based upon responses to questions posed in the grant application. Eligible costs may include:
* project planning and scoping,
* purchasing software, and
* implementation of a permitting system capable of processing digital permit applications, virtual inspections, electronic review, and with capacity for video storage.
Application scoring will prioritize jurisdictions who currently have a paper- only or hybrid permitting system, and are experiencing growth pressures measured by increases in population
and residential permitting numbers.
