Prince William announces changes to online business permit portal

Prince William County Department of Development Services announced a series of enhancements to ePortal, a system business owners use to obtain permits. The changes will begin Monday, April 26.

“Delivering on the highest quality customer safety and services is our business. Today, customers have come to rely on the trusted service of the Prince William County ePortal, and we are pleased by the industry support of the Power of ePortal program, which sees it as an economic value proposition,” said Wade A. Hugh, director, Department of Development Services. “This will ensure that the most accurate information is received, and staff provides the best customer service possible, using a partnership approach.”
