Permit Center Queuing System: Coming Soon to a Smart Phone Near You

We know your time is valuable and that is why the City of Tulsa will soon be implementing a new queuing system for the Permit Center. This system will reduce wait times and provide real-time updates regarding estimated wait times. Customers will be able to receive these updates through text messages, voice calls, and the kiosk and monitors located at the Permit Center. Customers can also use the queuing system to request more time before they meet with a permit representative or to cancel their appointment entirely.

We are in the final stages of implementation and will notify you when we go live!

PLANiTULSA - City of Tulsa Comprehensive Plan Making Progress
 
From 2008 to 2010, thousands of Tulsans participated in the process to create an ambitious comprehensive plan for our community. The PLANiTULSA Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2010 and has been the roadmap for the future planning and development of our city. Not only did the comprehensive plan summarize what Tulsa should look like by 2030, but the plan gives City leaders the tools to get there. Focusing on land use, transportation, economic development, housing, parks, open space, and the environment, the comprehensive plan is helping set the stage for Tulsa to prosper.
 
Since the adoption of PLANiTULSA, the City's Planning and Development Department has been working diligently to meet the goals set by citizens and developed a Monitoring Program to review quantifiable measurements and track progress to help achieve Tulsa's plan Vision by 2030. We are excited to announce that 74 percent of PLANiTULSA's recommendations have been initiated - this is a huge milestone for our community!
