Description

GovtPermits is a no-cost, web-based system designed for building departments in municipalities, enabling residents to submit their building permit applications, make payments, and monitor their application statuses completely online. This system provides staff with a unified review queue that replaces cumbersome paper files and shared email accounts. Additionally, residents are given the ability to create self-service accounts where they can save drafts, view the status of their applications, and pay any extra fees—all conveniently organized under their email addresses. For the staff, the platform offers features to filter applications, update their statuses (which sends automatic notifications to applicants), and allows for customization of branding and fee structures. Remarkably, this solution comes at no cost to the departments, eliminating the need for software licenses or per-user fees, with cities having the discretion to decide whether to pass the flat application fee onto residents. Ultimately, this innovative platform streamlines the permitting process for both residents and city officials, enhancing efficiency and accessibility.

Description

Revamp your permitting procedures to enhance efficiency and elevate customer satisfaction by utilizing a comprehensive community development platform for permits, licensing, inspections, and code enforcement. OpenGov's Permitting, Licensing & Code Enforcement (PLC) system empowers you to oversee all aspects of permitting and licensing without relying on outdated spreadsheets or complicated software systems. With intuitive drag-and-drop technology, you can effortlessly design workflows, manage fees, create forms, and organize inspections, granting you full authority over each stage of the process. By leveraging advanced customer service features, applicants can conveniently handle their government transactions from the comfort of their own homes or workplaces. Streamline the routing, approval, and issuance of permits and licenses digitally, achieving speeds up to five times faster than traditional systems. Efficiently manage scheduling, access crucial data, and carry out inspections directly in the field. Allow applicants to apply for, pay for, track, and receive their permits or licenses online, while also automating license renewals, monitoring overall progress, and facilitating online renewals for added convenience. This modern approach not only simplifies processes but also fosters a more responsive and engaging interaction between the community and its governing bodies.
