PERMITS, LICENSes & INSPECTIONS

We are going paperless!  We have converted to an online permit and license system.  All building, occupancy, zoning and licenses will now be done through the online system.

  1. To apply for all permits, licenses & zoning applications, access our Enterprise (EPL) Permitting & Licensing Portal.  Paper applications and applications submitted via e-mail will no longer be accepted.
  2. To pay your utility bill, access our Utility Billing Portal. Payments may also be dropped in the drop box at City Hall or made at the Clerk's Office during regular business hours.
  3. For applications not available through our Enterprise (EPL) Permitting & Licensing Portal, complete the fillable PDF form below and e-mail to info@columbiail.gov.  Payments may be made online by visiting Online Payments.  Applications & payments may also be brought to the City Clerk's office.
