The City of Spruce Grove used to send permit emails to multiple people in our company. Why can’t you do that anymore?

The City of Spruce Grove started using the a new version of CityView, a permitting and application software, in early 2022. The newest software supports only one email address per business or organization, which is usually the email address linked to your business licence.

To manage this change, businesses can set up their own internal procedures to distribute emails from the City of Spruce Grove. That could be one mail email inbox managed by an employee or owner, or an email alias that will distribute emails to the appropriate people within the company.
