Applying for a Permit in CSS

From the CSS home page, click Apply to view a list of Permits available to be applied for online. You may select from the list if the permit you want is listed or click All at the bottom of the list to view all available permits.

If you clicked on All to view the full list of permits, you will be taken to a page that shows a list of all permits you can apply for online and a description of the permit. You may start the application process to any of these permits by clicking Apply to the right of the description.

Your permit application will now begin. At any time, you may save your application as a draft by clicking Save Draft in the lower right corner. This will allow you to resume the application later.

Enter the address you would like to add, click Search next to the right of the search bar, then click Add on the appropriate address from the list of search results.

If you have more addresses to add, you can do so by selecting the appropriate type from the drop-down menu and repeating steps 4 and 5. Otherwise, click Next.

Ensure that the Permit Type is correct, enter a description of your permit application if desired, then click Next.

For any additional REQUIRED contacts, click Add Contact.

Enter the contact name or email address, then click Search next to the search box. Click Add for the appropriate contact from the search results.

If additional contacts are needed or desired, you may add them by selecting the contact type from the drop-down menu and repeating steps 8 and 9. Otherwise, click Next.

Enter all required additional info, which will vary from permit to permit, as well as any other appropriate fields, then click Next.

For any required attachment, click Add Attachment. In File Explorer, navigate to the file you wish to upload, select it, then click Open.

For any additional attachments you want to upload, select the appropriate type from the drop-down menu. Click Next when done adding attachments.

On the final page, ensure that all the information is correct and click Submit to send your permit application in. If you do not want to send your application yet, you may click Save Draft so that you may edit and submit your permit application later.
