The Township of Scugog is planning to launch a digital e-permitting service on April 1.
“Following the success of our newly implemented online burn permits – with almost 400 permits issued – we are making the switch from older tech and paper-based systems to digital. Our new e-permitting service, once fully implemented, will benefit our Scugog residents, permit applicants, developers, and municipal staff. Benefits include proactive communication, file management, and paperless, 24/7 access – even onsite!” said the town in their news release.
“This new system will provide a single point of contact in the municipal building department. End users such as residents, contractors, and inspectors can easily check the status of their permit as well as follow-up on them and schedule inspections, all in one digital space.” it continued
The statement ended by saying “The permit process will be a more proactive, customer-centric approach to customer service on a digital platform. This tech improvement is part of our five-year Scugog IT Strategy that will see Scugog modernizing processes and services to better serve the community.”
