Government Inspection Software for Cities and Counties
Run by People Who Ran Government Inspection Programs
GovOwl is complete government inspection management software, designed around how a regulatory program actually works rather than adapted from a commercial forms tool. Our account managers are former government officials who ran these programs and managed teams of inspectors. When you call about a scoring rule, a state report, or how to structure a reinspection cycle, you reach someone who has done it.
Schedule, Route, Manage, Reinspect
- Inspection scheduling and routing – plan an inspector’s full day on a map, sequence the stops, and route the drive between them
- Territories and assignment – assign by district or territory, balance the load across inspectors, and reassign when someone is out
- Mapping – routing runs on your Esri ArcGIS, or on Google Maps for agencies with no GIS
- Configurable inspection checklists – with items, scoring, and pass or fail rules for each inspection type in your own words
- Risk-based frequency – inspect a high-risk facility more often than a low-risk one, and let the system schedule it
- Statutory deadlines – reinspection windows and correction periods run on the timeline your code sets, not a default
- Violations, notices, and letters – cite the code section, generate the notice or letter, and carry it into enforcement without re-entry
- Fees and payments – assess the inspection fee, take the payment online, and post it against the record
- Public score posting – publish inspection scores and results online where your program requires it
- Historical record – every inspection, notice, fee, and result on one property record, from the first visit forward
- Reporting and dashboards – oversee your inspectors from one dashboard: volumes, overdue work, pass and fail rates, and who is carrying what
- State and federal reporting – produce the reports your state and federal programs require, formatted to their specification and matching their PDF layouts exactly
- Parse, filter, and analyze – pull any inspection metric or KPI, filtered the way you need it
- Case management – the full history of any property, one search away, and defensible when it is challenged
Inspection Checklists Built to Your Codes
Different agencies inspect different things, so the checklists, the scoring, and the rules are built to yours. Food, septic, pool, lead, code enforcement, and building inspections all run the same engine. Inspectors do the work on a native iPad or iPhone app that keeps running with no signal at all, and the office runs the same records in a browser on any desktop, Mac or Windows.
The same engine can run field work beyond permits and code: fire and life-safety inspections, weights and measures, animal control, rental and housing inspections, business license checks, zoning compliance, public works infrastructure inspections, parks and playground checks, vehicles, water and sewer field work.
