Apply Online, Step by Step

A guided walkthrough asks only what applies to the constituent's request, and takes the plans and documents it needs.

Every required answer, plan and signature is in, and answers that must agree do agree. Only then does the application reach the department's queue, so staff know it follows their rules.

One Statewide Portal for New Jersey and Any State

  • One Login for Every Town

    Contractors, businesses and individuals get one place to handle permits and licenses in every GovPilot town in their state, with a single login. The portal started in New Jersey and works the same way in any state. See the New Jersey Statewide Portal.

  • Documents Fill the Form

    When an applicant uploads a supporting document, the portal reads it and fills in the form fields. Fewer incomplete applications mean less back and forth for the town.

  • Built With Local Governments

    Founding partner towns are helping shape how the portal looks and works. Read the New Jersey announcement.
