San Juan County has switched to a paperless system for, applying, issuing, and tracking permits. ALL permit applications are handled through the SmartGov permit portal.

Here are some handy links and instructions:

1. Create a login on the portal and verify email/password
2. Download application from our website, link below
3. Fill out the application and save to your computer (Applications are undergoing changes, fillable forms will be available soon)
   
4. Create a new *submittal on the portal (*permit application)
5. Upload your documents to the portal (all items needed for your permit type are listed in the submittal area of your permit and vary by permit type).
6. Pay any Plan review fees to start the review process (some permits don’t require a fee upfront)
7. DCD staff will review the submittal shortly and update you if more information is needed.
