Montezuma County Planning Department has launched an<\/p>\n
Users can upload planning and zoning documents, and permit applications, and they can submit them digitally.<\/p>\n
The public also can view public notices and submitted land development plans under review by the planning and zoning board and county commissioners.<\/p>\n
Planning Director Don Haley said the department has been working to implement the project since fall and launched the portal in March when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was coincidental timing. People could continue to conduct business on the digital platform without having to come into the office,\u201d Haley said. \u201cIt turned out to be a great benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Applicants will have to create an account, but citizens who want to review public records and development proposals do not need an account.<\/p>\n
The portal system is more user-friendly than the previous system of accessing online public documents, Haley said.<\/p>\n
It also gives users access to septic and environmental regulations and permits, addressing information, road and bridge requirements and driveway permits. The portal includes a property parcel search link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
