Planning Dept Customer Self-Service Portal

March 30, 2023

The Department of Planning advised “that as of April 1st, 2023, to ensure applicants have access to the latest and most accurate information on the progress of their application and requests, customers are encouraged to register with the Customer Self-Service [CSS] online portal to have an application submitted on their behalf.”

A Government spokesperson said, “While previously, only agents submitting applications on behalf of an applicant needed to have a registered account, all applicants must be registered with the Department’s CSS online portal to submit applications for planning approval or building permits.

“Registered CSS account users benefit from accessing additional services, allowing them to submit applications, request inspections and estimate fees. Users are also assured that their contact information will never be shared or distributed to a third party but only used to contact them regarding their Planning application.

“Launched in January 2020, the Department of Planning’s Customer Self-Service [CSS ] portal is a modern service site for planning and permitting. All users can access the details and drawings of all publicly advertised Planning applications with or without a registered account. Simply search the CSS inputting the advertised application number or the address to find the details of any proposed development.

“To register, visit https://planning.gov.bm/, and for registration assistance, an easy-to-understand guidance document is available online at How to Create a CSS Account. For further information or questions about the Customer Self-Service portal, email csshelp@gov.bm.”

The full guidance document on how to create a CSS Account follows below [PDF here]:

    “all applicants must be registered with the Department’s CSS online portal to submit applications for planning approval or building permits.”

    What? I can no longer take my paper application signed with “wet ink” to the Department of Planning?

    It is bad enough that the PLP Government will no longer accept payment by cash or cheque but insists on credit cards! Now this!

      Where you upset when they took the horse drawn carriage away to? Lmao. How old are you to be making such ignorant comments? Stop living in the past! If bermuda wasn’t so small you would be begging for everything to be done online. Stop complaining and actually contribute to the country

        As it happens, I was driving down Front Street just last weekend and missing the tourists and horse drawn carriages that used to do the tours.

        Why is my comment ignorant? Because I want to use pen and paper and not rely on computers and “apps”?

        I do contribute to these islands. And I have for most of my life.
