Richmond, VA – According to the state officials, the Virginia Permit Transparency reportedly provides the public a centralized platform to track the daily status and timeline of critical steps for Commonwealth of Virginia’s permits.
Users can search permit applications or filter results by fields such as agency, application number, locality, and more. VPT can be accessed at Permits.Virginia.Gov.
The permits of three agencies are available on the website: Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, Virginia Energy, and the Virginia Marine Resources Commission.
Additional agencies will be added in the coming months.
The program was first launched as a pilot program last year at DEQ and has was several awards including the “2023 State Program Innovation Award” from the Environmental Council of the States
