Business Solutions Center Update:

The Development Services Department (DSD) and Small Business Program partnered to expand the permit center in the space previously housed by the Business Solutions Center. As a result, the Business Solutions Center will no longer be offered. Small businesses can still access a variety of online resources through the Austin Public Library databases. The newly expanded permit center includes a Service First initiative launched by DSD to provide better access to development-related services and customer service.

The Small Business Program will continue to support the growth of new and existing businesses by providing educational classes, events, and resources throughout the year. We appreciate your support in this transition for improved customer service.
