No. While the City of Raleigh and Wake County do use the same permitting software, each system is configured differently. Therefore you must register a new account for the City of Raleigh Permit and Development Portal.

Wait three minutes and try again. As long as you remember your password and are entering it correctly, it will let you in after it resets. If you need to reset your password, click the Forgot Password link and you will receive an email to reset your password.

Log in to the portal and click the "Inspections" tab on your project. Any contact listed on a project is able to schedule an inspection once they are registered in the portal.

Your inspector information will populate in the portal the morning of the day that your inspection is scheduled. We are not able to provide an exact time of arrival for your inspector. Please plan accordingly.
