The City of Duluth will be unveiling its new enterprise permitting and licensing system in mid-May of 2024. 

The city’s newly-branded ePlace will be the portal allowing the public to submit building and zoning applications, rental license applications, pet licensing applications, residential parking permits, as well as many other licensing and permit applications. 

The new ePlace system will help to automate and streamline the permit review processes, reducing the time it takes to review and process city applications and making the end-user experience easier and faster. 

More detailed information on the system will be shared as it is available.

The city’s current permitting system is eTRAKiT, which has been in use since 2011. eTRAKiT will be phased out in the process of implementing ePlace.

Howie: Forsman the best choice for Duluth’s next mayor

Arik Forsman doesn’t posture. He doesn’t spend his time trying to win the internet for a day. He leans into the unglamorous mechanics of governing — budgets, policy detail, stakeholder conversations — and does it with a steadiness that’s easy to overlook if you’re chasing noise instead of results.

Howie: Why LSC is winning the local college enrollment battle

For years, America subtly treated trade education as a secondary path for students who supposedly could not “make it” academically. That narrative now looks outdated and borderline absurd. Many technical programs are competitive, mathematically rigorous and tied to industries starving for talent.

Howie: The Northland’s media ecosystem is messy

No single institution controls the public conversation anymore. The region now operates inside a decentralized information economy where television owns immediacy, newspapers own documentation, Facebook owns emotional momentum and independent publishers increasingly own personality-driven loyalty.

Howie: Duluth moves beyond emergency shelter thinking

Serious cities eventually discover homelessness sits at the intersection of housing costs, addiction, mental illness, family collapse, poverty and social isolation. Remove one piece while ignoring the others and the system keeps recycling human beings through crisis.
