A free, easy to use, online permitting and inspection platform for small cities and towns.
100% Free
Small cities pay nothing for access to our technology. The person making a permit request pays a small fee, no different than a convenience fee on a water bill.
No Setup
Nothing to download, no servers to manage, and no custom integrations for teams to lose their hair over. Log in from anywhere with an internet connection.
No Maintenance
Municipalities that opt-in to our network, benefit from having only one source code. Tech talk for saying we manage 100% of the updates and security for you.
Automated Process
Permit requests are made through Permits.com. Our technology detects when a municipality is in the network and routes the permit to your team for processing.
Completely Virtual
Rest easy knowing resilience in the face of a pandemic or 100-year 'storm of the century' can be achieved. Remote access for your staff is the 'NEW' norm.
Joyful Experience
From our staff to your constituents, all will appreciate the simplicity we built into our technology. Warning: Government workers have reported receiving thank you hugs.
While not a sensible option, some will never change. If you are one of them, and you still do not find value in going online, do yourself, and your community a favor, Retire!
Contract IBM
Maybe not IBM, however, whatever legacy solution you go with is sure to cost a lot of money that you don't have, take many months to implement, and be complicated to use.
Build Your Own
Reinventing the wheel not only costs money, it almost never works out. Technology is changing so fast that once you get it dialed in, something new comes along.
Let's face it, options for small governments are limited and often don't meet the need or budget. Town Administrators get thousands of calls and emails pitching products that cost too much, are bloated with features and not needed.

Hi, I'm Ray Antonino,
CEO & Co-founder of Permits.com
COVID-19 is the catalyst for change that government has needed and our industry has been waiting for. Unlike anytime in history, government leaders have the ability to take bold and swift action under the cover of a pandemic.
As the CEO of a company rooted in the belief of serving both God and Country, it is important that we demonstrate corporate stewardship by helping small, cash-strapped municipalities from where we can.
To do our part, Permits.com launched GovZone™, a free offering that provides over 17,000 small cities and towns with technology to accept and process permit and inspection requests online. No strings attached.
