The City of Pinole, Calif., has announced the launch of eTRAKiT, the city’s new and fully integrated online permitting and licensing system.
The city said in a press release that this significant upgrade will “streamline the application and tracking process for permits related to Building, Public Works, Planning, and Business Licenses.” The city said the upgrade will offer its customers a more efficient and user-friendly experience.

- Quick turnaround for simple permits such as reroofing, water heaters, HVAC units, and service panel replacements.
- Full online integration to ensure no more missed emails by allowing users to manage everything within their online account.
- 24/7 access by allowing users to apply for permits, check application status, schedule inspections, and receive results anytime and anywhere.
