About

One Stop makes it simple for homeowners, businesses, licensed professionals, developers, contactors, and other interested citizens to:

• Find information about a permit, license, planning project, or violation in progress.
• Initiate an application for many types of permits and licenses without coming to City Hall.
• Pay with credit cards for permits and licenses online.
• Research what has been permitted, licensed, or cited at a particular location or during a user defined time frame.

A great example of government transparency at work, One Stop Online pulls up-to-date information directly from the City's official records, providing a single, comprehensive and authoritative view to the public for the very first time.

In New Orleans, countless organizations are working around the clock to improve local communities and foster development throughout the city—from businesses to community groups, non-profits to City Hall, and the local Redevelopment Authority (NORA).

However, each of these organizations collect and manage data about properties in entirely different ways, which results in duplicated efforts, inconsistent information, and precious energy wasted.

Many organizations have also lost time and expended effort waiting in person to make applications to multiple departments at City Hall and at other City sites.

At One Stop, 17 City Departments and reviewing agencies have joined together to integrate their review processes and create a single point of entry for applicants. Applications will be routed through the correct departments internally so that builders, developers, homeowners, and business can spend more of their time leveraging their resources for individual and citywide success.
