Permit Application

Permit Application and Access Instructions

Brown's Creek Watershed District now uses Smartsheet to track permits, and our application is an online form.

Create a free Smartsheet account

Visit https://www.smartsheet.com/try-it?region=us, and use your email address to create an account. This will allow you to submit your permit application and view permit status information.

Fill out the online application form

Once logged into Smartsheet, fill out the form below or at https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/51278bf6bdc240dc869cf28b2c7035ad. Note: There is 30MB upload limit. If larger files are required, please reach out to kkill@mnwcd.org and hpeterson@mnwcd.org for alternate file transfer options.

Pay applicable permit fees

Fees are required before BCWD begins its permit review. There are two options to pay:

  1. Mail/deliver to BCWD at 455 Hayward Ave North, Oakdale, MN 55128 or
  2. Request an invoice for online credit card payment (A 3% processing fee will be added)

View and edit your permit data through Dynamic View

  1. Login to your free account or create one if you didn't submit the original application (e.g., the engineer submitted but the property owner wants to view).
  2. Visit dynamicview.smartsheet.com to see your permit data. Note: it might not be available immediately, as BCWD staff will need to get you added to the viewing group. Once you receive notification of your permit number, you should have access to Dynamic View as well.
  3. Your view will show the permit(s) that your email address is associated with.
  4. There is an icon that you can click to wrap text, which will prevent fields from being cut off.
  5. The underlined permit number will link to the financial tracking for the associated permit. You can request access if it is not already shared with you.
  6. Edit data by clicking on the row to open the details panel. The only data that can be added or edited is contact information for the property owner, authorized agent, or erosion control contact.
  7. You can also view and upload attachments (plans, permit documents, etc.) and send comments. The comments field can be used to communicate with permit review staff, but we recommend tagging staff members in the comment (using @mention) to ensure they receive a notification of your comment.

Direct any permit questions to Karen Kill at kkill@mnwcd.org and any Smartsheet questions to Hannah Peterson at hpeterson@mnwcd.org.
