2026 Membership Application
The Iowa Permit Technicians Association (IPTA) is a nonprofit organization established in 2019 by permit technicians and associated professions for the purpose of providing, promoting, and supporting education and networking. We are an organization that seeks to foster professionalism, certification, and recognition of its membership. We are comprised of permit technicians, front counter personnel, plans examiners, building officials, planners, and others across building, planning, and zoning departments throughout the state.
Each jurisdiction must have one person designated as a Class A member. Additional members are considered Class B members.
