What it does.

Four things Licensing & Permitting handles to improve your workflows.

01

License and permit tracking

One record per business. Track all active licenses and permits, expiration dates, and renewal requirements. Linked to parcel records and business address.

02

Online renewal and payment

Businesses renew and pay online. The system verifies requirements are met (e.g., inspections complete, fees paid). No staff involvement required for routine renewals.

03

Automated renewal reminders

Email reminders go out 30, 60, and 90 days before expiration. Businesses receive links to renew and pay online. Renewals that aren't completed by expiration are flagged for enforcement.

04

Revenue tracking and GL posting

License fees post to GL as payments are made. Track revenue by type of license. Reconcile easily since everything is online and automatic.

How it helps.

What communities gain when the manual work goes away.

EXPIRED LICENSES
0
No business operates on an expired license without the city knowing
Expired licenses trigger flags in the system. Enforcement knows immediately which licenses are overdue.
RENEWAL PROCESSING TIME
−60%
Online renewals process without staff involvement
Businesses that renew online self-service. Staff only handles disputes or special cases. Admin time drops.
REVENUE LEAKAGE
$0
Every operating business has a current license on file
When renewals are online, automated, and required to be paid upfront, you don't miss any revenue.
