Welcome to the City of Burlington's Online Permitting and Licensing Portal
While we are still here to assist if you need it, this Portal allows you to accomplish everything from the comfort of your home or office. Some permits still require an application to be filled out and submitted online. (You will be prompted where documents need to be filled out and uploaded).
