00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,640
The City of Fargo Inspections Department is pleased to announce that you can now request

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:13,280
a permit online through our permit portal at permits.fargond.gov.

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,280
If you already have a City account to pay your water bill or track your property at

4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:22,600
my.fargond.gov, you can use the same login for the permit portal.

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,320
If you do not have an account, you may register a new one through the permit portal.

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,520
Then staff will review your request and communicate with you to issue your permit.

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,280
When filling in the work description, be specific and mention electrical, plumbing, and HVAC

8
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:37,280
work.

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,480
Our staff can only issue permits to a licensed contractor, the property owner, or an authorized

10
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:46,080
agent who has submitted permission from the owner to do the work.

11
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,360
Once your permit application is approved, you will receive a link in an email from noreply

12
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,840
at davengis.net to pay for your permit.

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,200
Be sure to watch your junk or spam folder.

14
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,640
When you click the link in the email, you'll be routed to the main permit request page.

15
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,800
Click your account in the upper right and select your items to see all of your permits.

16
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,680

17
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,640
Upon payment, your permit will be created and you can begin your project.

18
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,480
You can download and print the permit for your records.

19
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,440
There will be a sign off sheet for keeping track of your inspections which should be

20
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,900
posted in the area where you are working or by the electrical panel.

21
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:27,340
The same permit portal can be used to request your inspections and check the status of your

22
00:01:27,340 --> 00:01:29,180
project in real time.

23
00:01:29,180 --> 00:01:31,380
Follow these steps to request a permit.

24
00:01:31,380 --> 00:01:35,060
Visit permits.fargond.gov.

25
00:01:35,060 --> 00:01:40,960
Register for an account or use your already active login from my.fargond.gov.

26
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:45,320
Businesses should use a shared email address and permit portal account for all staff.

27
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:49,020
Users cannot see each other's permits, which can lead to multiple requests for the same

28
00:01:49,020 --> 00:01:52,880
project or difficulty for your accounting department.

29
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,920
Check the type of permit appropriate for your project.

30
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,320

Upload required documents.

32
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:04,120
A site plan does not have to be to scale as long as the dimensions are clearly labeled.

33
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,640
If you are applying for a commercial permit, please visit our website to see our submittal

34
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:10,280

35
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:16,400
Please note, the add button in the A0 contact table and under submit documents adds another

36
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,560
required contact or document.

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,160
Make sure you hit submit.

38
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,200
You'll be asked for a digital signature in a pop-up window and will need to hit submit

39
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,320
again.

40
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,960
If you back out without submitting the digital signature, the permit will appear on the Your

41
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,240
Items page marked as draft.

42
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,800
You can keep that draft and edit it as many times as you like.

43
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,040
Once submitted, you may only alter the permit details if staff has returned the application

44
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,840
to you for changes or more information.

45
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,320
A congratulations note will appear to verify that your application has been successfully

46
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,320
received.
