eCLIPSE changes
Changes were recently made to eCLIPSE that may impact the public experience. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to strive to improve your experience.
-
Hold Permit Status and Response – Applicants can now view the status of any permit issuance hold or permit completion hold on their permit application and will receive notification via email when resolving a permit hold submission is rejected. Additionally, a new “Permit Amendment Issuance Hold” has been added to eCLIPSE. Please refer to the updated information sheet for step-by-step instructions on resolving a hold.
-
Permit Expirations - Improvements have been made to synchronize the expiration and update of trade permits with the parent building. This will eliminate the need to provide updates on individual trade permits when work under the building permit is ongoing. Please review Code Bulletin A-2001 for rules surrounding permit expiration and request and eligible extension BEFORE the permit expires to keep your permits active.
-
Building Object Creation - A ‘building’ will now automatically be created upon completion of a new construction permit. This will provide immediate access to submit periodic inspection and testing certifications without waiting for other updates in City records. This does not apply to permits completed before December 15, 2023. If you are unable to submit a certification because the building does not appear in the listing for the parcel, please submit a help request through www.phila.gov/li/get-help and select the "Structural Maintenance & Fire Protection Certifications" category.

License Application Look-Up – eCLIPSE users can now search for their Business and Trade License Applications that have not yet been submitted or approved using the Search button on their homepage.
