Permits in our new Land Management System (CC LMS) will have a dash in the fourth position of the permit number, for example PLD-2019-12345. Use the CC LMS Land Use permit search page to find these permits.

If your permit number looks like PLD2018-12345, it will be in our old system, Tidemark. Use the search form below. Enter your permit number and press the "Get Status" button to check permit status.
