Once you have completed your draft application data, the final step is to sign it digitally and submit it to your municipal building department. This article will guide you through the process.

Sign-Off Requirements

Typically, building permit applications require at least the applicant's signature. In some cases, other individuals involved in your project, such as agents or property owners, may also need to sign specific applications.

The individuals required to sign the application are listed in the Sign-Off section of the application workspace.

Completing Required Tasks

Ensure that the Required Tasks progress bar at the top of your application workspace indicates that you have completed all the necessary actions before proceeding.

Click Sign Off Application to access the Sign-Off workspace.

Note: Once an applicant has been added via email, only the applicant can complete the sign-off.

Reviewing and Signing Documents

Depending on your municipality and the type of building permit application, different documents in the Sign-Off workspace may require your attention before proceeding.

The application will be digitally signed in the Declaration of Applicant section.

This section specifies which roles must approve the application by signing it. For example, some application types may require signatures from both the agent and property owner. More information on assigning multiple roles can be found here.

Click Sign Off for each declaration if you have the required roles for signature.

Submitting the Application

Once you have completed all required signatures, your application is ready for submission.

Click the Submit Application button to initiate the submission process.

Your application will be forwarded to your municipal building department, where they will begin the review process.

Congratulations! You have successfully signed and submitted your building permit application. If you encounter any issues or have further questions, please reach out to your municipal building department or refer to our support resources for assistance.
