Apply for a building permit online:  

Union County has partnered with Cloudpermit, a cloud-based software, so you can complete the entire building permit process online on any mobile device. With Cloudpermit, you can:  

  • Apply for building permits at any time, from anywhere. 
  • Check the status of your building permit or building inspection (when your application status changes, you’ll automatically receive an email letting you know) 
  • Schedule or cancel building inspections. 
  • Communicate with your building department with time-stamped messages.
  • Request and submit changes to an existing building permit.
  • Pay for your building permit with a credit card

How to get started:  

To start, create your Cloudpermit account by visiting  https://us.cloudpermit.com/login. Once registered, you can apply for building permits and track their progress online.

As this is a new system for Union County, please email us if you encounter any issues!
