Why am I not seeing any way to apply for permits? I am just seeing searching and reports. You need to create an account either as a user or a contractor to apply for permits.Visit Richmond iMS and select Register as a New User in the lower left.
Why am I not seeing the type of permit I want to apply for? Most permits may only be applied for by a licensed contractor.First, apply for the contractor license that is necessary for the work you are doing. Once the contractor license has been approved, you may apply for the permit.For more information about registering as a contractor, visit iMS Business/Contractor Account Creation.
I did not receive a confirmation email. First, check your spam. If it is not there, you may call 510-620-6500 and select from the department list.
