Stateline, NV – The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) has expanded its virtual services to the furthest extent possible to help keep its team and customers safe during the COVID-19 crisis, the agency said today. Agency employees have been working around the clock to move permitting, planning, and document request services online  since stay-at-home orders went into effect.

Now permit applications, site inspection requests, documents requests, and stamping of approved plans can be completed digitally. While only some construction activities can continue under shelter-in-place orders, property owners and permitting consultants continue to prepare for the construction season. As these services relate to a sliver of economic stability in an uncertain time, the agency is striving to keep projects moving forward.

“The nation and the Tahoe Region are in uncertain times right now and we are committed to supporting the local economy and keeping essential projects moving forward in a safe manner,” said Joanne S. Marchetta, Executive Director.
