How can we help you?

Customer Self-Service Portal

The new CSS Portal empowers citizens and businesses to get things done more conveniently and efficiently. You can manage your applications, plan submittals, invoice payments, and inspection requests from your computer or mobile device 24/7. 

How to Start:

Before you begin, we encourage you to watch the video tutorials or read the guidelines demonstrating how to use the system, and then create your CSS Portal User Account. A User Account required to submit applications, make payments, and conduct other business, though anyone may access public information in EnerGov.
