The process
How the application works
From your first e-mail to the release of your Certificate of Zoning Compliance — here is what happens at each stage.
What you do
Eight steps, all online. Your progress is saved as you go.
- 1
Enter your e-mail address
There is no registration form and no password to remember. You only need an active e-mail address.
- 2
Verify with a 6-digit code
We e-mail you a temporary verification code. This code proves the address is yours — it is not your Application Reference Code.
- 3
Choose your project classification
Roads, residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural or institutional. The questions that follow depend on what you choose.
- 4
Answer the questions step by step
Classification details, the five screening questions, your applicant information and the project information. Back and Next let you correct anything at any point.
- 5
Mark the project location
Enter the address and barangay, then pin the exact property on the map. The system records the latitude and longitude for the MPDO.
- 6
Review everything
A full summary is shown before you upload documents. If something is wrong, go back, correct it and return.
- 7
Upload your requirements
Attach each document as a PDF, JPG or PNG. You can replace a file at any time before submitting.
- 8
Submit and receive your reference code
The system issues one permanent Application Reference Code, e-mails it to you, and gives you an Application Submission Receipt you can print.
What the MPDO does
After you submit, the application moves through the municipal review process.
- 1
Document screening
An officer opens each uploaded document and marks it valid, invalid, requiring revision, or for further review.
- 2
Feedback and revision
If something needs correcting you are notified by e-mail, and the feedback appears on your dashboard. You correct it and resubmit using the same reference code.
- 3
Acceptance
Once the application and all requirements are acceptable, the MPDO accepts the application and you are notified.
- 4
Certificate of Zoning Compliance
The certificate is generated from the information you already submitted, so nothing has to be typed again. The officer completes the official checklist and finalises it.
- 5
Official receipt and completion
The MPDO records the official receipt details, then marks the application completed. You coordinate with the office for the release of your documents.
