Building Permit Process

The Town of Kingsville uses a cloud-based e-permitting software called Cloudpermit. This system digitalizes the building permit process and will eventually help us go completely paperless. With Cloudpermit, you can:

  • Apply for all types of building permits online
  • Pay for a building permit using a credit card - convenience charge applies (coming soon)
  • Check the status of an application (change of application status or additional information requests will be automatically be emailed to the applicant)
  • Schedule or cancel inspections
  • Check inspection results
  • Submit and request changes to an existing permit

Register your Cloudpermit account

To begin, you will need to create a Cloudpermit account. Cloudpermit currently supports Firefox, Google, and Safari browsers. Once registered, you can apply for permits and track their progress. 

Register or Log-in to Cloudpermit

How-to videos and support materials

Learn how to log in to Cloudpermit as a registered user, or check Cloudpermit Support for a quick tutorial on the basics. These instructional videos may also help you navigate the system:

  • 'Cloudpermit - How to Submit a Building Permit Application' - video
  • 'How to Send a Message on Cloudpermit' - video
  • 'How to Request Inspections' - video
