Planning Boards
MuniCollab serves as a central hub for your planning board, replacing inefficient paper and email-based workflows with a structured, transparent, and collaborative digital portal. From helpful applicant tools to AI-assisted review to assist staff, MuniCollab ensures that a thorough review can be done quickly and efficiently.
The Cost of Paper-Based Planning Reviews
Planning boards face mounting challenges with paper-based applications that are bogged down in emails and complicated internal filing systems. Staff spend hours preparing board packets, applicants struggle to understand where their projects stand, and residents demand greater transparency into development proposals affecting their community. Meanwhile, board members arrive at meetings with incomplete information, and critical review timelines slip as everyone plays catch-up with the paperwork.
Centralize Applications and Streamline Review
Transform your planning board workflow with a digital platform that brings all applications, documents, and communications into one organized system. Dynamic forms guide applicants through submission requirements, while automated workflows assign review tasks to the right staff and consultants. Board members access complete, up-to-date project information from any device, and the public follows development proposals through an intuitive online portal.
Empower Applicants and Eliminate Confusion
Give applicants clarity with real-time application status updates and the latest project updates. Our platform displays relevant zoning requirements and municipal code sections right alongside submission forms, reducing errors and incomplete applications. Applicants can collaborate with their architects, engineers, and attorneys directly within the system, ensuring everyone works from the same information.
Enable Transparent, Informed Decision-Making
Board members arrive at meetings fully prepared with all project materials at their fingertips. The agenda builder curates exactly which documents the board needs to review, eliminating hundred-page packets full of irrelevant information. Public access to proposals fosters community engagement while maintaining appropriate privacy controls. Complete project histories—including all revisions, requests, and communications—create a transparent record that serves both governance and compliance needs.
