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

POSSE PLS delivers a comprehensive permitting and inspections solution that empowers local and state governments to modernize workflows and improve citizen services. Leveraging ICC best practices, it comes preconfigured with standard permit types while allowing extensive customization to match specific agency requirements. Automated workflows include real-time notifications for inspections, license renewals, and expirations, ensuring both compliance and convenience. Field inspectors can access mobile-friendly tools to capture photos, upload documents, and provide detailed inspection notes, all synchronized with the central system. Applicants benefit from a self-service portal that simplifies submissions, guides them through documentation requirements, and enables fee payments and instant permit printing. The system integrates seamlessly with GIS data, linking permits to parcels and street segments while grouping related applications into projects for clarity. Agencies also gain advanced reporting, cloud hosting options, and low-code UI customization to adapt quickly to new needs.
