We file through Citizenserve

We handle the private-provider filings on the city permit record in Citizenserve — including the Notice to Building Official (NTBO) using the state-standard form, related affidavits, and inspection results. The city does not publish a standalone private-provider packet; we still file the statutory notice so the building department can process that path.

Note: While most jurisdictions use online portals for submittals, we adapt our filing methods — portal uploads, direct email coordination, or in-person delivery — to each building department's current operating procedures.
