SAWS Development Portal
June 28 marked the first meeting with the Development Portal Focus Group. Tasked with providing input as SAWS moves forward with launching an online permit tracking system, the focus group brings together members of the home building, development, contracting and engineer communities with SAWS staff.

The group received a demonstration of Infor's Public Sector permit module, the system SAWS currently uses to track and issue permits, and together prioritized functions for the future web portal.

SAWS hopes to provide convenient online access to permits, impact fee payments and other associated developer permit processes to the development community by early 2018.
