Forsyth County has announced updated software the lets customers submit applications online for building permits, business and alcohol licenses, inspections and land development plans.

EnerGov Customer Self Service software will replace prior software at the website, https://www.forsythco.com/, officials said.

“Notably for our development community, EnerGov eliminates the electronic submittal fees for those submittals that previously required one, such as commercial building plans, land disturbance permits and plats,” said Forsyth County Manager Eric Johnson.

Applicants will be able to view online the status of applications or permits and get information on next steps, such as revisions or when meetings on hearings on their applications will take place.

The software also will let residents search for land development, building permits and business and alcohol licenses, while staff will be able to send business owners automated emails about license renewals and let them renew online, officials said. Information: https://bit.ly/3cLNH4z
