Enterprise Permitting & Licensing (EPL)
WPB is going DIGITAL with the Enterprise Permitting and Licensing (EPL) System
The hassle of applying in person for permits, paper plans and checking the status of your permit, or development application has just gotten easier in the City of West Palm Beach! Select City departments are now accepting electronic submissions via EPL with the new Enterprise Permitting and Licensing System (EPL).
With EPL you’ll be able to do all the following online:
- Applications for Planning and Zoning

- Engineering – Right-of-Way Permits and Engineering Permits
- Code Enforcement activities including applying for a lien reduction

NOTE: Business Tax Receipts will not be integrated into EPL/Civic Access until 2025.
EPL is a web-based electronic/digital document solution that will allow residents, businesses, developers, contractors and their agents to submit applications and documents online without the “paperwork” from their office and all from the comfort of their home at any time of day.
