What is the New COJ Permitting System?

There are exciting upcoming improvements to the current City of Jacksonville permitting system!  

The permit submission process through the current portal can be time-consuming as the software is becoming increasingly outdated. As browsers have grown over the years, the existing COJ site has been limited to its capabilities.

With the new site, JAXEPICS, will be user-friendly, expedite permit services, and have a higher level of information accessibility. Improvements will save you and your company time when submitting permits and ensure there are no hiccups during the process. 

What are the new COJ site capabilities?  

 In JAXEPICS there will be several updates designed for a streamlined permitting and inspection process. The following list is just a few notable updates. Scroll further down to view a video presentation that highlights all features.   

1. Data conversion; all of the data from the previous site will be converted into JAXEPICS and will be easily accessible.  
2. With an improved user interface; companies and contacts are now openly available to view in a one-stop-shop contact tab.  
3. Live updates; approving payments and permits in real time 
4. Notifications throughout your permitting process of missing documents; tabs will appear with a blue number if there are missing documents or information  
5. Fully editable company dashboard; add or remove member access, view company contacts
