90 epermit Tips Please do not copy and paste, or use special characters. Regional offices have access to application, no need to mail a copy. Local (city or county) programs will still need a hard copy of the application. Verify accuracy of all site information and addition of all applicable rules before submitting. Please avoid paying for any application before starting the STEERS submittal process.
