County of Hawaii’s Planning Department and Department of Public Works will be implementing a new Electronic Processing and Inspection Center (EPIC) powered by EnerGov to better serve YOU!
(Previously named Plans, Permits & Inspections)
The new system will help:
*Track and manage plan applications and requests, Building and Engineering permit applications received by both departments.
*Allow our community members to submit a number of plan applications, engineering grading, grubbing, and stock piling permit applications, as well as building permit applications online.
*Accept electronic plans for approval which will allow for multiple approving agencies to review the plans concurrently. And once a building permit is issued, contractors will be able to request inspections and view the results of the inspections online.
*Improve transparency, our customers will be able to track the application’s progress as it is going through the approval process online.
*Support credit card and electronic check payments online.
*Gradually working to support our customers so that they will no longer need to come to our offices to perform business with our departments.
We will be implementing this system on Monday, July 26, 2021.
The following link is to a brief (2.5 min) Welcome Message and Introductory video about the site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgVRWlEnnB8.
In addition to the launch of the site we will be introducing our new one permit process. Building permit applications submitted from the site when they are approved and issued will cover building, plumbing, and electrical work. Only one permit placard will be issued instead of three (i.e. Building, Electrical, and Plumbing).
We will also begin accepting the submission electronic plans for our new electronic plan review process. This will allow for multiple agencies to review the plans at the same time.
More information regarding the EPIC system will be provided closer to Go Live date. We hope you will be excited as we are to begin using this new system.
