• Beginning April 7, 2026, we have added the ability to submit notifications, permits and variance applications through our new online system. Licensees may still send notifications, permits, and applications using the paper documents linked on the page, under Record/Notification Templates.
• Records and Notifications will no longer be mailed directly to you, but can be printed and mailed in. The documents have not changed and are available as fillable forms to be filled out digitally, or handwritten. 
• Paper notifications, permits or applications cannot be paid by credit card. 
• If you want to pay by credit card, you must submit your application and payment through the online system.
