Builder’s Services Update:
Staff has been busy working with our new payment processor Paymentus on implementation of their services for the past 5-months. Paymentus has a long and successful track record of working seamlessly inside CityView, which as you know, is the new Bay County Building Permit cloud-based permitting platform that will launch later in 2023. In an effort to not change too many processes or platforms at the same time, management has decided to go live with the new Paymentus platform in June. This payment processing change will also include the Builder’s Services Division deleting and removing the existing credit card system which is not PCI Complaint. PCI compliance, or Payment Card Industry compliance, refers to a set of twelve industry recognized security standards that businesses must use when accepting, transmitting, processing and storing credit card data.
Today is Friday May 26TH, 2023 and we are currently reviewing Building Permit Applications submitted on May 15th, 2023.
