Welcome to the City of Albany’s Development Resource Center. This site was created to better serve the development community by providing a centralized location for developer and builder related information. As part of the City's transformed building permit process, the community is now able to access through a 24-hour online website many traditional counter services including applying for certain permits, requesting an inspection, and checking on the status of their projects. The systems encourage sustainability by reducing paper use, printing and storage costs, drive time and gasoline consumption.
An interactive tool that allows citizens and business owners to see new and archived building, planning and public works permit applications. Entering an address returns applications for that area, appearing as green or blue icons on the map. Blue icons are new applications or ones currently under review. A green icon indicates a completed application. By registering for an account, users can set up alerts to be notified via email when new building/planning/public works applications are proposed for their neighborhood.
