Online Tools
Skip the trip with DPD's Online Tools
DPD has several online tools that allow our customers to access information, make inspection requests, pay permit fees or submit comments, all from the home or office.
Would you like to: Submit plans online? Receive electronic versions of corrected plans? View real-time plan location status?
DPD is exploring the possibility of providing an electronic plan program that would allow you to do all of those things. But before we make decisions about future implementation, we need your input. The following survey will take just a few minutes of your time, but give us invaluable assistance in the decision-making process.
Enough talk, please take the survey by Monday, October 20. We appreciate it!
