The City of Georgetown utilizes My Government Online (MGO), a web-based permitting software.

This system allows homeowners, contractors, and developers the ability to:

• Apply and pay for permits online
• Submit digital plans and documents that will be reviewed, stored, and linked to the user's secure account
• Track the status of current projects including comments, mark-ups and other relevant information
• Schedule inspections and receive real-time notification of the results via email and phone message
  

Apply for your permit online

1. Create an account and log into MGO Connect.

2. Complete your permit application and upload required construction documents.

3. Once your permit is approved, return to MGO Connect to remit your payment.

4. Schedule your inspection through MGO Connect by 3 p.m. for the next available business day.  Inspection turnaround times are based on the volume and type of inspections requested. At this time, we cannot guarantee next business day for all inspections requested by 3 p.m.
