Online Portal

Our online portal provides licensees access to various Council services. Currently, licensees can do the following online:

  • Update your contact information 
  • Pay fees owing for existing licensees
  • Complete your annual filing (available when filing is open)


How to Log into Your Account

Log into your portal account using your user name and password. You do not need to create a new account, and you do not require a PIN. Your user name is the email address that you have on file with Council. If this is the first time that you are logging into your account, your temporary password is your date of birth (MMDDYYYY). The system will prompt you to change your password after your first log in.


How to Reset Your Password

On the portal login screen, click on “I’ve forgotten my password.” Type in the email address associated with your account. You will need to provide the answer to your security question. A temporary password will be sent to you via email. When you log into the portal with your temporary password, the system will prompt you to change it.
