Online Permitting System
The Air District’s online permitting system gives regulated industry the ability to submit permit applications, renew permits, update facility information, and access permit documents. Additional functionality and improvements will follow. The goal of this system is to improve efficiency, accuracy, and the customer experience.
How do I use the online permitting system?
New owners and operators without a current Air District permit who want to submit a permit application with the online system should:
- Go to the Login button below and create an account to use the system.
- Submit a permit application using the online system.
Existing permit holders will be invited by mail to use the online system during the next permit renewal, which typically occurs between 60 and 150 days before your permit expires. The owner/operator invitation will include a Facility Access Code to link your facility to an authorized user account.
Need a Facility Access Code?
- Send your request or question to: PermitHelp@baaqmd.gov
- Locate any BAAQMD permit document or invoice and provide:
- Your facility identification number, plant number, or site number
- The business name and address
- Your name and phone number
- A Facility Access Code will be sent by mail to the official contact associated with this business.
Log in to submit a permit application or to renew permits.
