    * For security reasons credit card information is not saved or collected by the ePermitting website or local jurisdictions so users will have to enter their card number each time they pay for a permit.


  9. CAPTCHA: Read the prompt at the top (e.g., "Select all images with "motorcycles," "traffic lights," or "buses").Click every grid tile that contains the requested object. Sometimes, images update or fade out as you click them and new ones slide in; click those if they match the prompt too. Click Verify or Next once you have selected all matching tiles.

    Tip:
    If you struggle with images, you can switch to an audio challenge by clicking the headphone/audio icon at the bottom of the CAPTCHA box.
