As of Monday you can get a permit online in the city of Bend.  The city’s new online permit center can provide business registrations, building and engineering permits, land use applications, special event and fire permits, code complaints, room tax remittance, and other specialty licenses.  You’ll notice some benefits – including streamlined submittals and payments, and easy access to inspection scheduling and project updates.  The new system updates the permitting system the city had been using and provides for safe, contactless transactions in light of the pandemic.
