Municipal Code Enforcement Software with a Fast Native iPhone/iPad App

Code enforcement is field work. A complaint comes in, you drive out, document the violation, photograph it, send the notice, and follow it to closure. GovOwl is municipal code enforcement software for cities and counties, with a true native iPad app your officers carry into the field. It runs complaints, cases, violations, notices, and abatement on one system.

A Real App, Not a Browser

Most code compliance systems are websites you log into. They stall in dead zones, crawl when you add a photo, and leave you on hold when something breaks. GovOwl offers a true native iPad or iPhone app that works offline, downloaded from the Apple Business Manager. It captures photos, notes, and violations on the device and syncs when the connection returns, so a weak signal never stops an inspection.

Complaint to Closure

The work moves in a straight line, and so does the software:

  • Intake – complaints from staff, residents, or a 311 system
  • Field work – investigate and document with photos and location
  • Notices – violations and citations from your templates
  • Abatement – track mowing, junk removal, securing, and towing
  • Closure – move each case to compliance with a record that holds up

Connected to What You Already Run

GovOwl exchanges data both ways with SeeClickFix, Salesforce 311 and other systems, so a resident request becomes a case and the status flows back. It ties cases to your ESRI ArcGIS parcel data and takes online payments for fees and fines, so your office works from one record instead of re-keying.

Built by a Team That Got There First

GovOwl comes from a team that has built native iPad field apps for local government since 2013, among the first to do it. The same proven platform now runs code enforcement. We can tailor it to how your team works, and when you have a question, you reach a real person who knows your account. Our account managers are former government inspectors who know your process and our product.
