Cities and municipalities across the world are updating to electronic permitting systems – why? Simply because they work. They’re more efficient, less time consuming, more hands on and easier to manage. Just like building departments, electronic permitting systems come in all sorts of sizes. Here at CityForce, we want to help your city, whether you have 5,000 residents or 150,000. Updating to an electronic permitting system is all about fixing problems and streamlining workflow.
