Weld County’s Information Technology Department, in collaboration with the departments of Planning Services, Public Works, Public Health and Environment and Oil and Gas Energy, launched the Wayfinder wizard. This new tool helps applicants search and apply for appropriate permits in one centralized place on the Weld County website. Although permits are the focus of the Wayfinder launch, the county ultimately anticipates expanding the interface to help residents navigate additional services and records.

“The updates to this system will allow residents to complete much of the permitting process online,” said Weld County Chair Scott James. “This streamlines the process not only for residents but also for staff as it cuts down on residents needing to come into the department to start the application process.”

Collectively, the updates restructure website appearance for more clarity and overall flow with styles found on the homepage and improve mobile navigation.

Additional key services included in the ACA upgrade:      

  • Ability to apply for more than 60 different permit types through online portal 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
  • Track application progress.
  • Upload and download documentation.
  • Make online payments.
