Online Application Filing

South Coast AQMD is pleased to introduce a new online permit application system for businesses. Using our new online system, eligible applicants will be able to apply for and obtain, via email, a valid Permit to Operate or Registration.

Benefits of the Online Application Filing Program:

  • The online application process should take around 30-40 minutes to complete and obtain a Permit to Operate compared to the several weeks/months long conventional application filing process.
  • Online users that are responsible for multiple locations can manage them all through the program.
  • An approved permit is sent directly via email for printing and safekeeping.
  • Permits not approved online can still be submitted online to be reviewed by an engineer.

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Currently the program is available for Dry Cleaning machines, Spray Booths, Emergency Internal Combustion Engine Registrations, and some Rule 222 Registrations including Negative Air Machines, Boilers/Heaters, Charbroilers, Industrial Cooling Towers, Power Pressure Washers, Tar Pots/Tar Kettles, Food Ovens, Storage of Odorants, Urea Storage, Portable Diesel Heaters, Diesel Fueled Boilers, Asphalt Day Tankers, Asphalt Pavement Heaters, and Micro-turbines. Additional permitting modules are planned for release in the near future.
  • Applications that can demonstrate compliance with South Coast AQMD regulations online are eligible to receive a permit directly via email. As conservative assumptions are used online, applications that require additional review can still be submitted and a South Coast AQMD engineer will be assigned to complete the process.
  • Applications for Spray Booths need prior approval to begin. Please email onlinepermits@aqmd.gov with your username for access.
  • Interested applicants should ensure that any outstanding fees or notices of violation are addressed prior to initiating an online process.
