St. Louis County launches online permit application portal
Need a building permit to add on to your home? How about to subdivide a parcel of land? Any land use permit offered by St. Louis County now can be applied and paid for online. This includes applications for structures, additions, land alterations, gravel pits, variances, conditional use permits, wetlands and property subdivisions.
St. Louis County administers zoning for all areas of the County outside of cities and a few select townships that handle their own zoning.
Through the new online permit application portals, people can apply 24/7 for permits such as for structures, additions, land alterations, gravel pits, variances, conditional use permits, wetlands and property subdivisions. The web address is crm.stlouiscountymn.gov. First time applicants will need to set up an account, which takes just a minute or two, and is free. Their information will then be stored, which will save them time in any future applications.
"We are excited to be able to offer an online system for application and payment," said Barbara Hayden, Director of Planning and Community Development. "It's something our residents and businesses have asked for, and we're thankful to the County Board for supporting our efforts in implementing this. We know it will make the application process much more efficient, both for them, and for our staff to process."
