Paper-Based Permitting Slows Revenue and Stalls Development

Building and planning departments are often overwhelmed by paper applications, lost documents, long queues, and inconsistent approval processes.

1

Paper permit applications create long delays for developers and citizens.

2

Critical application documents and plans are easily misplaced.

3

Applicants have no visibility into the status of their submissions.

4

Inspection scheduling is manual and hard to coordinate.

5

Approvals vary across departments, slowing service delivery.
