Please enter the email address you will be using to log in, and then click the "Register" button. An email will be sent to that address that includes a link to set your password. Click the link in the email to set and confirm your password. After the password has been created, you may be asked to log in.

All password set/reset emails expire after 24 hours. Attempting to use an expired link will result in an "invalid token" error, and you will need to reset your password.

If you receive an error message that says the name/email address is "already taken", it means a login already exists for that email address. Please return to the Log In page and click "Reset a Password" instead.

If you submit your email address, but do not receive a confirmation link email from us within 10-15 minutes, there may be a problem with the email address you provided. The following suggestions may help determine why you are not receiving emails from us:

• Verify that you entered the email address correctly, without any added spaces or incorrect characters.
• Occasionally, emails from "@co.cowlitz.wa.us" are flagged as spam and filtered out before reaching an inbox. Please check the settings with your email program or your email provider to make sure you are able to receive our emails.

If you are still having trouble receiving our emails after trying the suggestions above, please email us at PermitInfo@Co.Cowlitz.Wa.US to ask for assistance.
