St. Tammany Parish now has a computerized system for filing building permits for St. Tammany Parish. Under the new system, new home builders in St. Tammany Parish will be able to avoid the long and arduous process of getting their building permits for building new homes in the parish. St. Tammany Parish includes the cities of Mandeville, Covington, Madisonville, Abita Springs, Lacombe, Slidell, and Pearl River. These builders in these cities will now have an easier time of permitting their new homes that they build as well as completing and selling their new homes on the northshore of Lake Pontchartrain in the Greater New Orleans area.

St. Tammany Parish to Institute Paperless Permitting System

       The parish's Department of Permits and Regulatory is phasing in the new system over the next few months, allowing residents to track the permitting process in a more efficient manner, according to parish officials. In addition to viewing permit documents, scheduling inspections and seeing the results, the parish will be able to issue certificates and residents will be able to print receipts using the new system.

       The parish obtained the system and software using a stimulus grant from the Department of Energy. The funding from the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program will allow the parish to reduce both paper consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, according to officials.

       The entire permitting process will be streamlined and result in both a cost and time savings for the public and the parish, officials said Monday. Residents will be able to submit plans electronically, reducing the amount of paper waste generated during the permitting process, while scheduling inspections online will reduce the number of necessary trips by permit inspectors and employees.

       The system also will provide immediate notification of an inspection passing or failing. The system will send contractors an e-mail or phone message notifying them of their inspection status immediately after its completion.

       To access this new system, visit www.stpgov.org/permits and click on the link for the new permit system. The site will provide instructions for setting up a user account with the system.

       "I am very excited about this new system," said Parish President Kevin Davis. "Any time we can increase efficiency and create a greener St. Tammany in the process, it's a win-win situation. The creation of less waste and the more efficient use of vehicles and time are both important steps in the right direction."
