How do I add a creation form to a permit type?
A permit creation form is used to initiate and record the details of a new permit application. This could include permits related to building, zoning, construction, signage, land use, or environmental impact.
It's used to gather and organize relevant information that's needed to process and track a new permit request from initial submission through approval, issuance, inspections, and finalization.
Common information included on a permit creation form:
-
Permit type (for example, building, electrical, plumbing, demolition)
-
Permit details: Description of work, estimated cost, square footage or scope
-
Application information: Name, contact information, contractor license (if applicable)
-
Location information: Parcel number or address, zoning or jurisdiction
-
Owner information: Property owner contact details
-
Supporting documentation: Site plans, Blueprints, Environmental or engineering reports
-
Fees: Application fee, plan check fee, inspection deposit.
The permit creation form helps ensure all required information is captured for compliance and workflow routing. It enables status monitoring and scheduling of reviews/inspections. It also provides a record of who submitted what, when, and for what purpose.
The option to link a creation permit form to a permit type is included in the 2025.11 release.
