*COMING SOON!*
The Greater Bemidji Area Joint Planning Board is moving to an online platform in January 2023! This online system will allow you to apply for a permit, request an inspection, and pay fees, and more all from the comfort of your home! Keep an eye on our website for additional information as we get closer to our go-live date, tentatively scheduled for January 24, 2023!
Email ainslee.krause@ci.bemidji.mn.us to be added to our email list as we make the transition.
