City launches online portal to help businesses and residents virtually

Pittsburg has launched a new online portal that will help businesses, residents and entrepreneurs find and estimate the costs of permits to open a new business within the city.

The free tool will allow users to identify zoning, necessary construction permits, planning requirements and business licensing information. Those businesses looking to locate in Pittsburg can also use the portal to find areas that would be appropriate for a specific use.

For DIY homeowners, the portal will also help users research what permits are necessary to tackle their new project. For more information, please visit the City of Pittsburg’s OpenCounter portal.
