Builders, business owners, and residents will soon have access to an online portal providing a one-stop shop for City of Roseburg services connected to planning and zoning, business registrations and code enforcement.

A city release said partnering with OpenGov.com, Roseburg is launching the “City of Roseburg Online Portal” on Friday, August first.

The new applicant portal to OpenGov.com’s public service platform was designed for Roseburg to give local businesses, builders, homeowners and other residents an online place to apply for and track:

*Site plan reviews

*Land-use reviews

*Pre-application meetings

*Business registrations

*Municipal Code enforcement

Community Development Director Stuart Cowie said, “We are making the change to OpenGov to help make the permitting process more efficient, both internally and for our customers”. Cowie said, “Customers will be able to utilize an online permitting portal, which will enable them to submit plans online directly to our department. It will save them from having to come into our office”.

Builders, residents and business owners can sign up now for this new online service, which will save time compared to submitting applications in person and also speed up tracking a project by eliminating the need for phone calls.

Anyone who experiences challenges using the new portal once it opens, can come in for help or call Community Development at 492-6750.
