Building Departments
MuniCollab digitizes applications, automates fee collection and plan reviews, and provides a single dashboard for all building department activities, from intake to final inspection.
The Challenge of the Traditional Permit Desk
Building departments often struggle with incomplete paper applications, manual fee calculations, and scattered email communications for plan reviews. This leads to inconsistent processes, frustrated applicants constantly asking for status updates, and valuable staff time being spent on administrative tasks instead of crucial inspections and compliance checks.
Digitize Intake and Automate Fees
Replace cumbersome PDFs with dynamic, online permit applications. Our infinitely-configurable forms guide applicants, ensuring you receive complete submissions every time. The system automatically generates invoices based on project scope, tracks payments, and can gate further review until an application is in good standing.
Streamline Plan Reviews and Communication
Automate your review process with custom workflows that assign tasks to the right staff at the right time. Issue and track requests for more information directly on the platform, eliminating confusing email chains. All communications and revisions are logged, creating a complete, transparent project record.
Gain Total Project Visibility
The central project dashboard provides an at-a-glance view of every permit’s status. With our optional GIS integration, you can automatically pull zoning and overlay data for each project, reducing errors and ensuring code compliance from the very start. See the full picture, not just the paperwork.
