Those looking to submit application for a building permit, business or alcohol license, an inspection, or their land development plans in Forsyth County will now do so through a new software program.
The EnerGov Customer Self Service software is on the county's website and will replace the current system, Govern, eStatus and ePlan Solution software.
“EnerGov provides the opportunity to increase automation and improve communication with our customers,” said County Manager Eric Johnson. “Notably for our development community, EnerGov eliminates the electronic submittal fees for those submittals that previously required one, such as commercial building plans, land disturbance permits and plats.”
In addition to lifting the fees, applicants will now be able to view and track the status of their application or permit online, as well as check the application or permit schedule, including revisions or meetings and hearings. It also allows residents to search for information about land development, building permits and business and alcohol licenses in the county.
With the move, officials said the process to move applications and permits should be more streamlined and much quicker.
