Modern Community Development
A Community Development platform that simplifies planning, permitting, inspections, licensing and compliance enforcement for government agencies and the communities they serve.
PLANNING & PERMITTING
Built around the ecosystem it serves.
Every GovFolio service is shaped by the people in it. For permitting, that means connecting contractors, owners, planners, inspectors, and the agencies in the review chain — so applications, plan reviews, and approvals move along the workflow you already run.
Before & After
The CommunityWorks
Before CommunityWorks
Backlogs at every counter
- Paper permit applications pile up, and delays ripple across the whole community
- Contractors and residents line up at the counter just to get an update
- Inspectors work from printouts, then re-enter results back at the office
- Departments can't see each other's reviews or workloads
With CommunityWorks
One connected, transparent process
- Applications, payments, and status move online, 24/7
- Backlogs shrink as routing and reviews run in parallel
- Field inspections post instantly from mobile devices
- One connected process gives every department the full picture
CORE CAPABILITIES
Flexible Features for Every Stakeholder
Electronic Plan Submission & Review
Review building plans from anywhere. Applicants upload, comment, and request revisions from any computer or tablet, and can submit, track, and update plans digitally with access set to their record.
Permitting
Receive, track, and approve or deny applications across departments in one workflow. Applicants stay in the loop with online payment, real-time status tracking, and notifications tailored to how they want to hear from you.
Code Enforcement & Compliance
Bring order to messy cases. Smart forms, mobile data collection, and a single place for all case data give you a clear view of each violation — and help community members get compliant faster.
Service Requests & Complaint Management
Omnichannel collection points let citizens and businesses reach you effectively. Smart forms tailored to your process cut staff time in routing, tracking, and resolving issues.
Licensing
Automate business licensing applications and renewals, and share licensing data across agencies to save time and resources.
Reporting & Business Intelligence Analytics
Turn the data from digitized forms and processes into department-wide insight on performance, timeliness, and more. Build the reports management relies on and schedule them to run automatically.
Mobile Inspections
Manage your inspection schedule, plan your route, and complete inspections from a tablet in the field. Capture data, notes, and photos on site — then send applicants their inspection report in real time.
