Community Development Software

Community Development Software for Small and Multi-Department Agencies

In a small agency, one office often runs permitting, code enforcement, plan review and environmental health together, programs most software splits across separate systems. GovOwl is community development software built for agencies your size, where one director runs all of it at once, every permit, case, and inspection tied to a single parcel record and never re-keyed between departments.

The Programs You Run, on One Parcel Record

GovOwl brings your regulatory programs onto one platform, each tied to the same parcel record:

  • Code enforcement – complaints, 311, violations, notices, and abatement from first report to closure
  • Building permits – one permit routed across Building, Planning, Environmental Health, and Fire, from application to certificate of occupancy
  • Plan review – resubmittals cycled as versioned plans, per-department fees, one set of comments to the applicant
  • Permitting and inspection – online applications, fees, scheduling, and a native iPad field app that works offline
  • Environmental health – food, septic, pool, well and lead permitting and inspections
Environmental health runs on the same record as permitting and code enforcement, so the program most platforms treat as a separate system is just another department here. Your inspectors carry a native iPad app that works fully offline without the need for connectivity.
