Tracy residential permits run through eTRAKiT
Tracy's eTRAKiT page covers select residential online permits, inspection scheduling, permit printing, payments, and help guides.
Tracy’s residential permit page points homeowners and contractors to eTRAKiT for select permit work. The portal is used for things like applying for certain permits, scheduling inspections, printing permits, and paying fees.
Tracy keeps the help guides close to the portal. If you have not used eTRAKiT before, read the guide before clicking around. It can save time when you reach payments or inspection scheduling.
Have the property address, owner or contractor information, and a clear project description ready. If the job is a reroof, temporary power pole, or another listed online permit type, the portal may be the right place to begin. If the project is larger or unusual, expect to check with the building office.
Tracy has older neighborhoods, fast-growing subdivisions, and edge-of-town properties, so the address and project type do a lot of work. Start with the residential permit page, then use the portal once the fit is clear.
