About Us

Welcome to DevelopTT

Trinidad and Tobago's online portal for development permitting, branded DevelopTT, was launched in March 2020 and is an undertaking of the Ministry of Planning and Development in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade and Industry.

Through the DevelopTT portal, the development application and approval processes are transformed by replacing the paper-based system of submitting applications for planning permissions, building permits, completion certificates and many of the other property development approvals required, with online/electronic submissions and processing. Applicants are guided through the process of obtaining permissions across multiple agencies in a seamless approach, which will ensure that the right documents and information are submitted at each step, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of the process.

Why DevelopTT

For us, Development means the protection of the natural environment, the facilitation of responsible construction and the creation of places (residential, commercial or recreational) for people. DevelopTT is your portal to a reliable, transparent, and efficient development process.

DevelopTT not only reduces paper requirements, it allows for simultaneous processing by multiple agencies and ultimately provides time savings for both the applicant and the approvers. DevelopTT also provides unprecedented accountability through online application status tracking.

Our Aim

To improve the way government services for land and building development are delivered to the public while providing greater information and interaction to anyone involved in the planning process; from homeowners to state agencies, to businesses and land and building professionals in Trinidad and Tobago.

Our Mission

To efficiently deliver to customers a first-class online application submission and review system. To ensure that applicants have easy access to information and application statuses anywhere and anytime, from any device. We aim to achieve this by collaborating with the agencies involved in the construction permitting process.
