Public Users can access POPS anytime without a user ID or password.

 

To become a Registered User certain information including name, business name and business license number, contractor license information, email address, telephone numbers, user ID and password will be required to be submitted for review.  After approval, you will be able to use the system to request inspections.  To register as a POPS user, CLICK HERE.
