How To Guide for Applying for a Permit

We aim to create an easy-to-use tool to save both the Citizen and City of Oelwein staff time, allowing both to focus on parts of the process that computers cannot do.  

Step 1: From the main website, scroll down the page until you see the circles with icons. Select the first option, 'Apply for a Permit.' (picture below) 

Step 2: Navigate seamlessly from the overview page, where you can easily pinpoint your desired permit by utilizing the 'Filter by Form Title' option (highlighted in the red square in the image below) or effortlessly browse through the card view until you discover the permit you wish to apply for.

Step 3: From here, you'll complete all the required fields necessary to submit your application. All required fields have a red asterisk. 

Submission Step: Submit option: After clicking 'submit' you are done. You will receive an email confirmation from the City of Oelwein. The City will receive your submission and start processing your request. You will receive email notifications as your application moves through the city's process.

Add to Cart Steps: 

Step 1: Add to cart option: After clicking 'add to cart'. Your application is not submitted, as you will need to pay the necessary submission fees before the city receives the submission notice.

Step 2: Click on the cart icon in the top menu

Step 3: Check out all items in your cart using our credit card processor. After payment has been processed, you will receive an email confirmation that your application has been submitted. Now you are complete. The City will receive your submission and start processing your request. You will receive email notifications as your application moves through the city's process.

You can review all your active and closed cases or licenses through your profile.
