Questions and Troubleshooting

Q: How do I find and review all of my applications?

A: All submissions can be seen under the “My Submissions” page once you login.


Q: Which shape do I click on after I type in the job address?

A: The mailing address and legal address are different. The Camino system uses the tax id for a parcel. If you’re not sure which to use look at Google Maps or the Onondaga County Database to make sure the shape match up.


Q: Why isn’t my license number working?

A: Make sure you only input numbers and NO LETTERS. For example: (instead of “4567T” use “4567”).


Q: I submitted but need to add more items, how do I amend my permit?

A: Call the Central Permit Office at 315-448-8600 and a permits team member will amend your fee and item count.
