TEN STEPS TO ONLINE PERMITTING

STEP 1: CREATE AN ACCOUNT OR SIGN IN TO CLOUD PERMIT by visiting https://us.cloudpermit.com/login

STEP 2: CREATE A “WORKSPACE”

Think of this as your virtual permit folder. You can have one permit per workspace, but you can link multiple workspaces together by address for a larger project. You can assign a name to the workspace, but please note that the Building Department may rename it for clarity.

Use the map feature or enter the parcel address. The Nassau County Parcel ID (section, block and lot) will fill in automatically.

STEP 3: SELECT YOUR PERMIT TYPE by choosing the category, type and work target. A list of the permit types is provided here.

STEP 4: SPECIFY THE PARTY ROLES

Define who the parties are that are associated with this application. This can be the homeowner, the contractor, the architect, the electrician, landscaper, mason, etc. At least one of you must also be designated as the applicant. One person may be assigned multiple roles, and you may have as many other parties as you need to complete your application. For some types of permits there are required roles (licensed electrician or plumber for example)

STEP 5: ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR PROJECT

Answer a series of questions regarding the project by completing digital forms, the questions vary depending on the type of permit you are requesting.

STEP 6: ADD ATTACHMENTS

For most permits there will be certain files that must be uploaded to complete your online application. These will include the insurances and Nassau County license for your contractor, plans, diagrams and drawings describing the proposed work, an authorization form, and the Nassau County Assessors form. Many of these files will be provided by your contractor or architect.

Please refer to the checklist to see what attachments are needed for your specific permit type.

Add any required or supplemental attachments to the permit using the upload button. Once a file is uploaded, you must also use the dropdown menu next to each attachment to define what each attachment is. If there are required attachment types, you cannot proceed until you have defined the requisite attachments.

STEP 7: PERMIT SIGNOFF

Each permit will have a signoff, where you need to read and acknowledge the terms and conditions associated with your application.

STEP 8:  FEES

Application fees are due on submission for most permits.  Application fees can be made online through the secure portal powered by MuniciPay™, or if you prefer you can mail or bring a check to Village Hall. Cash payment are also accepted at Village Hall during business hours. Any balance of fees will be due once the permit is ready to be issued.

STEP 9: PERMIT REVIEW

The Building Department / Village Hall staff will review your application for completeness. Additional information or attachments may be requested during the review. Please monitor your email, as you will receive notifications when there are changes to the review status, comments, and/or if additional information is required. When the permit is ready to be issued you will be notified of any additional permit fees that are due.

STEP 10: PERMIT ISSUANCE

Once all the submission requirements are met and fees are paid, the permit(s) and supporting documentation will be issued to you electronically. Please post the permit page in the window nearest your front door. You must also have copy of this permit on hand for the building inspector to review. There is a QR code on each permit for easy reference to the application and any approved plans.
