Austin Build + Connect (AB+C)

AB+C Portal

Austin Build + Connect (AB+C) is the City's online portal that allows registered users to apply for some permits, schedule inspections, pay fees, upload project attachments, and more. The portal's Public Search function is available to search permits and case history (and does not require registration).

The AB+C Manual offers guidance on how to register, apply for permits, pay fees, schedule inspections, navigate public search and more. You can also give feedback on our AB+C Portal Survey.

Types of Applications on AB+C

Some permit applications can be submitted through the AB+C Portal. To see which ones, log in, choose “Apply for Permit/Cases” or “Apply for ROW/Special Events,” and browse the list of available permits.

Austin Development Services provides applications for many more types of permits that are not yet submittable through the portal. Visit the Types of Permits webpage for a complete list and instructions on how to apply.
