The members of the Plans & Permits Section’s Customer Assistance Team are typically the first city associates that you will meet when entering the Cliff Morton Development and Business Services Center at 1901 S. Alamo when applying for a permit or when asking for information. Our mission is to serve the public with better than expected customer service by effectively facilitating the development process while protecting the health, safety, and public welfare of the community.

Our department goals and objectives are as follows:
• Protect the health, safety, and quality of life of the citizens of San Antonio.
• Improve cycle time for permits
• Ensure consistency and quality of reviews and inspections
• Enhance customer service philosophy to facilitate the development process

The Customer Assistance Team consists of the Greet and Assist Team and the  Completeness and Assignment Review (CAR) Team

Greet and Assist

When you enter our building, you will be in our Business Assistance Center and will be greeted at our front counter by the Greet and Assist staff. They will welcome you, listen to you and help guide you to the proper areas/services within the building or to other agencies outside the building in order to facilitate your needs. The staff will be able to provide forms and applications, documents on frequently asked questions, information bulletins, assistance with the public computers, phones, copies of the fee schedule, and most importantly a numbered ticket for your service at one of the service counters to help you. We will strive to make your visit with us a pleasant and rewarding one. You may email the Greet and Assist staff at dsdfrontcounter@sanantonio.gov .
