Engineering Permits

The City of Marshall is glad to announce that starting in May 2022 the new permit application software is available through the City website. Here is a direct link to the application https://mn-ci-marshall.onegov.rtvision.com/core/login.php (please note it will take you to a different website). Community Planning department staff spent a lot of time working with the software vendor to customize and improve the program. The new software is internet-based and will guide an applicant through the application process and allow for online payments for all permits. There are also other advantages, such as: the ability to pick a project location from the city map; to view all of your project files, including drawings, inspections, and inspectors’ notes, at any time; to receive notifications every time the approval process moves along; to share information with subcontractors; and many others. Considering extensive scope of the new program and multiple changed that were made, we believe that there may be some glitches, which may be weeded out only during real life use; so we ask you to be patient and help us finalize this great product. If you do not feel comfortable with the change at the moment, you don’t need to switch now: for several months you will have a choice between the old application forms (both PDF and web-based) and the new application, but after a while, when all bugs are found and eliminated, the old forms will be discontinued. If you have any problems using the new software or have other related questions, please call Kurtis at 507-828-0070.
