ONLINE Contractor Registration, Permits & Inspections

Access to Permit Software (OpenGov) The Town of Highland Park’s contractor registration, permit, and inspection software allows for online access to each of these functions. To provide a fast, more efficient permit application process, please enroll your company with our Contractor Registration program. As a registered contractor you can apply for permits, pay the associated fees, and request your inspections from your Sign-in screen. All inspections are scheduled through our online portal Opengov and must be received by 4pm for the following business day.

Process for Online Access

  • Step 1 - If you know your sign-in credentials, use the Log-in link to access your contractor page. 
  • Step 2 - To register for the first time, complete the Contractor Registration process.
  • Step 3 - Submit a permit application through your Log-in. The Town will review and correspond with you during this step and, once approved, we will issue the permit. As part of the application process, if plans are required to be submitted, you will be required to upload plans and documents via the online permit application. 
  • Step 4 - Request inspections on your active permits through your Log-in.

If you included an email address during the registration process, your inspection results will be sent directly to the email address supplied. However, you can always access your active permit and view the status, or request an inspection.

From your contractor portal/page, you can:
1. request a project;
2. request an inspection on an active project;
3. view the results of an inspection and any notes the inspector may have included;
4. renew your current registration; and/or
5. add a different contractor registration type.
