City of Fort Pierce Launches New Enterprise Permitting and Licensing System (EPL) on July 15, 2024

FORT PIERCE, FL – The City of Fort Pierce is excited to announce the highly anticipated launch of the groundbreaking Enterprise Permitting and Licensing (EPL) System, set to go live on Monday, July 15, 2024. This innovative platform is poised to transform the way residents, businesses, and contractors engage with the City's development departments, including Building, Code Enforcement, Planning, Engineering, and Business Licensing.

The new EPL system represents a significant leap forward in Fort Pierce's commitment to modernizing municipal services. By transitioning from traditional in-person/paper processes to an advanced, user-friendly online portal, the City is enhancing accessibility and convenience for the community. Starting July 15, 2024, residents and their agents will enjoy the flexibility to apply for permits, manage plan approvals, and oversee permitting processes from the comfort of their homes or offices.

Meticulously crafted to meet the diverse needs of our growing community, the EPL System leverages cutting-edge technology to streamline operations and provide a seamless experience for all. With the introduction of the EPL System, the City is embracing the future of community development processes. The platform offers a self-service portal with real-time application tracking, increasing process transparency and keeping applicants informed about the status of licenses, permits, and land development reviews.

The implementation of the EPL System has been a monumental task, involving collaboration across multiple departments and hundreds of dedicated staff hours. The unwavering commitment and hard work of the City’s team have culminated in a system that promises to revolutionize the way we conduct business.
