Permit navigator
As a reminder, the Permit Navigator pilot program is available. This digital tool helps public users determine what permits and approvals are needed for certain residential alteration and small business projects. This tool also includes information on the cost and application process for select permit types.
The City is committed to improving and expanding this pilot to include all aspects of development. To share feedback about your experience with the Permit Navigator, please email smartcityphl@phila.gov.
