As part of the City’s COVID-19 operational incentives, the City is expanding online service offerings so that City forms and payments may be submitted online. To address social distancing restrictions and provide continuity of services while City offices remain closed, current City applications, permits and licenses have been transitioned to online submittals with online payment functions.
Examples of forms and payments now available for online service include: Pet License Registration Form, Property Transfer Affidavit, Absentee Voter Application, Block Party Permit, Tree and Shrub Permit and many others. In addition, several Building Department applications are also now available online. Electronic building plan submittals along with Planning and Engineering forms will be available online later this year. As part of the City’s Economic Relief Program, e-check fees have been waived through June 30, 2021.
“We recognize there are challenges pertaining to COVID-19 and will continue to engage the community with an increased level of service while City Hall remains closed,” said Birmingham Finance Director Mark Gerber. “Our new system will offer the ability to submit all forms, applications and payments virtually.”
