Citizens save time by completing forms and
submitting payments online
Citizens of Phillips County, Colorado, can now submit building
permits and applications as well as payments through the county’s
website,
https://nws.colorado.egov.com/forms/phillips/phillipscobuildingpermit.
This online convenience eliminates the need to make a trip to the
county’s office, reduces printing costs for citizens and the
county, and shortens the time needed during the critical review
process.
“Phillips County is trying to make it easier for residents to
apply for building permits by placing the application on our
website,” said County Administrator, Randy Schafer. “We believe
making the process easily accessible from a resident’s home
computer will speed up the review process and get their projects
rolling faster.” In addition, the online process gives residents
and contractors time to review the permit forms and determine if
they have all the information they need to proceed.
Phillips County reminds citizens any projects that increase a
structure’s size and cost $1,000 or more to complete, require an
approved building permit. After reviewing the permit forms,
appointments can be made for further discussion with the county
planner.
“Phillips County joins the growing number of municipal
governments answering citizens’ demands for more online services
that they can do at their convenience,” said Colorado Interactive’s
Director of Portal Operations, Martin Hartley. “The ability to
complete and submit building applications online streamlines the
process not only for citizens, but also for counties. Both sides
win.”
Phillips County utilized Colorado Interactive (CI) and the
Statewide Internet Portal Authority’s (SIPA) proprietary platform
to rapidly develop its online building application. CI provides
digital government services to state agencies, local governments
and educational entities through a contract with SIPA — the
official internet portal connecting the public with Colorado
government. The partnership’s mission allows government leaders to
focus on delivering on-demand, digital government solutions without
requests for proposals or the use of tax appropriations. The
CI/SIPA partnership has benefited more than 30 counties across
Colorado.
"Our no-cost built-to-order online forms are exactly what so
many state and local governments need; a customized online service
meant to provide residents with an easier and more efficient
transaction with government," said SIPA Executive Director Jack
Arrowsmith. "The SIPA/CI partnership provides platforms for
counties, like Phillips County, to tailor information and services
specifically to meet their residents' needs."
Eligible government entities in need of application development,
payment processing or free website development and hosting through
the Colorado.gov Web portal should contact SIPA.
