00:00.000 --> 00:07.640
The City of Fargo Inspections Department is pleased to announce that you can now request

00:07.640 --> 00:13.280
a permit online through our permit portal at permits.fargond.gov.

00:13.280 --> 00:17.280
If you already have a City account to pay your water bill or track your property at

00:17.280 --> 00:22.600
my.fargond.gov, you can use the same login for the permit portal.

00:22.600 --> 00:27.320
If you do not have an account, you may register a new one through the permit portal.

00:27.320 --> 00:31.520
Then staff will review your request and communicate with you to issue your permit.

00:31.520 --> 00:36.280
When filling in the work description, be specific and mention electrical, plumbing, and HVAC

00:36.280 --> 00:37.280
work.

00:37.280 --> 00:42.480
Our staff can only issue permits to a licensed contractor, the property owner, or an authorized

00:42.480 --> 00:46.080
agent who has submitted permission from the owner to do the work.

00:46.080 --> 00:50.360
Once your permit application is approved, you will receive a link in an email from noreply

00:50.360 --> 00:53.840
at davengis.net to pay for your permit.

00:53.840 --> 00:56.200
Be sure to watch your junk or spam folder.

00:56.200 --> 01:00.640
When you click the link in the email, you'll be routed to the main permit request page.

01:00.640 --> 01:05.800
Click your account in the upper right and select your items to see all of your permits.

01:05.800 --> 01:08.680
Click on the pay fees link to make payment.

01:08.680 --> 01:12.640
Upon payment, your permit will be created and you can begin your project.

01:12.640 --> 01:15.480
You can download and print the permit for your records.

01:15.480 --> 01:18.440
There will be a sign off sheet for keeping track of your inspections which should be

01:18.440 --> 01:22.900
posted in the area where you are working or by the electrical panel.

01:22.900 --> 01:27.340
The same permit portal can be used to request your inspections and check the status of your

01:27.340 --> 01:29.180
project in real time.

01:29.180 --> 01:31.380
Follow these steps to request a permit.

01:31.380 --> 01:35.060
Visit permits.fargond.gov.

01:35.060 --> 01:40.960
Register for an account or use your already active login from my.fargond.gov.

01:40.960 --> 01:45.320
Businesses should use a shared email address and permit portal account for all staff.

01:45.320 --> 01:49.020
Users cannot see each other's permits, which can lead to multiple requests for the same

01:49.020 --> 01:52.880
project or difficulty for your accounting department.

01:52.880 --> 01:55.920
Check the type of permit appropriate for your project.

01:55.920 --> 01:58.320
Fill in all of the required fields.

01:58.320 --> 01:59.960
Upload required documents.

01:59.960 --> 02:04.120
A site plan does not have to be to scale as long as the dimensions are clearly labeled.

02:04.120 --> 02:08.640
If you are applying for a commercial permit, please visit our website to see our submittal

02:08.640 --> 02:10.280
requirements.

02:10.280 --> 02:16.400
Please note, the add button in the A0 contact table and under submit documents adds another

02:16.400 --> 02:18.560
required contact or document.

02:18.560 --> 02:20.160
Make sure you hit submit.

02:20.160 --> 02:24.200
You'll be asked for a digital signature in a pop-up window and will need to hit submit

02:24.200 --> 02:25.320
again.

02:25.320 --> 02:29.960
If you back out without submitting the digital signature, the permit will appear on the Your

02:29.960 --> 02:32.240
Items page marked as draft.

02:32.240 --> 02:35.800
You can keep that draft and edit it as many times as you like.

02:35.800 --> 02:40.040
Once submitted, you may only alter the permit details if staff has returned the application

02:40.040 --> 02:42.840
to you for changes or more information.

02:42.840 --> 02:47.320
A congratulations note will appear to verify that your application has been successfully

02:47.320 --> 02:48.320
received.

02:48.320 --> 02:56.240
If you have questions or concerns, contact the Inspections Department at 701-241-1561

02:56.240 --> 02:59.560
