Permits, end-to-end

From submitted to issued, without leaving your seat.

Permit Centrl runs every permit your municipality touches — building, zoning, highway, rental, fire, resale — through one configurable pipeline. Forms you control. Fees you set. Approvals your department actually uses. Citizens pay online; inspectors pick up the work in the field.

Capabilities

Configurable to your office, not ours.

No two municipalities run permits the same way. Your forms, your reviewers, your fee schedule, your approval logic. Permit Centrl bends — without code, without release tickets, without "we'll need to scope that."

Configurable forms

Drag fields, set validations, branch on conditions. Your application matches your ordinance — not a generic template.

Custom fee schedules

Per-square-foot, per-valuation, flat-rate, tiered, escalators, bond holds. Anything your finance director can describe.

Approval workflows

Sequential, parallel, conditional, escalated. Engineering signs off before zoning sees it — or both at once. Your call.

Inspection Centrl link

The same record the planner reviewed is the one the inspector sees in the field. No exports, no PDFs, no confusion.

Reporting engine

Monthly revenue, sq-ft trended, by-type, by-reviewer, state-mandated reports. Templates customizable per state.

Compliance & fines

Auto-issue notices, escalate to fines, track resolution. Repeat-offender flags surface before they become a council headline.

Permit dashboard

Every application, plan review, and inspection. One view.

Permit intake, plan review, and inspections — tracked against the parcels and projects they govern.

The pipeline

Six steps. One system.

From the moment a citizen hits "submit" to the day the permit closes — every routing decision, fee calculation, and inspection result happens in the same record. No re-keying. No paper hand-offs.

Features

The quietly necessary features.

The list of capabilities that won't make a brochure but make a permit office actually run. Permit Centrl ships them by default — not as add-ons, not as roadmap items, not as "something we could build for you."

01

Licensing & renewals

Contractor, trade, business, rental — issue, track, renew. Auto-warn on expiry, auto-block applications from lapsed parties.

02

Violation tracking

Field-issued violations, escalation paths, hearing scheduling, fines, and appeals — every step on the same record as the original permit.

03

Sewer connections

Tap fees, lateral inspections, capacity reservations, EDU tracking. Linked to the parcel and to the asset record downstream.

04

Contractor tracking

License status, insurance certs, bond balances, performance history. Pulled into permit applications automatically — no upload re-asks.

05

Stormwater management

Post-construction stormwater plans, BMPs, MS4 reporting. The plan attaches to the asset, not just to the permit.

06

State-specific reports

F-15, ICC, U&O, monthly building activity. Templates for Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, more — extensible to any state form.

Permit types

Every permit your office actually issues.

Building or zoning. Highway or fire. Rental or resale. Permit Centrl ships with the types most U.S. municipalities run, plus the room to add the ones nobody else has — without waiting on a release.

Building permits

New construction, renovations, additions, demolitions. Tied to valuation, square footage, and reviewer queues.

Most-used type

Zoning permits

Use, setback, variance, and conditional-use review. Linked to your parcel layer so context is one click away.

GIS-aware

Highway / right-of-way

Utility cuts, driveway tie-ins, lane closures. Bonded contractors tracked, restoration deadlines enforced.

Bond-tracking

Rental permits

Annual rental registration, occupancy limits, inspection cycles, escalations on non-compliant landlords.

Annual cycle

Fire permits

Sprinkler, alarm, knox-box, hot work, tent & assembly. Fire-marshal review queue with hazard flags.

Marshal queue

Resale certification

Pre-sale inspections, certificate of occupancy, escrowed repairs. Title companies pull status without calling.

Title-friendly
Citizen portal

Residents apply, pay, and check status — on their time.

A citizen-facing portal that takes the front-counter line and puts it online. Branded for your municipality. No accounts to create with a third party. No business hours.

Apply online — any device

Online forms with file upload, signature capture, and address auto-suggest from your parcel layer.

Pay fees from the same screen

Card, ACH, or wallet. Your processor, your merchant account, your reconciliation. No middleman skim.

Track status without calling

Real-time pipeline view: where their permit is, who's reviewing it, what's needed next. Cuts call volume measurably.

Notifications on the events that matter

Approved, comments returned, inspection scheduled, certificate ready. Email and SMS — they pick.
