When completing Step 2 of the Building permit and entering the design professional, please enter only the license number starting with the alphabet (ARC000 or PE000) or the first and last name of the license professional and then select Look up. This will allow the application system to validate the information and auto-populate all other required fields saving you time completing the contact information.

**NOTE**: The Contractor information is not required during submission of the application and is OPTIONAL only. It will be required prior to issuance and the applicant will receive a notification when they can edit the application to add this information.
