Citizenserve is specifically designed for small to mid-sized municipalities and counties that want modern, efficient permitting software without the complexity and high cost of enterprise systems.
The platform delivers a clean, intuitive interface that staff and applicants find easy to use, requiring minimal training. Permit technicians benefit from intelligent automation that routes applications, calculates fees, and sends notifications automatically, significantly reducing repetitive manual tasks and speeding up daily operations.
Building officials and plan reviewers gain real-time visibility into every permit’s status, along with powerful electronic plan review and markup tools that streamline the approval process. Field inspectors appreciate full mobile access through any web browser, allowing them to review permit history and plans, enter inspection results, capture photos, and generate automatic reports — even when working offline.
Code enforcement officers can efficiently manage cases, document violations, and schedule re-inspections with ease. The system also offers robust integrations with ESRI ArcGIS, financial systems such as Tyler Munis, Incode, and BS&A, Laserfiche, Bluebeam, ProjectDox, over 30 payment processors, and leading 311 systems, eliminating data silos and double entry.
What truly sets Citizenserve apart is our exceptional long-term customer support. Many municipalities have partnered with us for over twenty years because we provide responsive, knowledgeable assistance from implementation through years of daily use. With transparent per-user pricing and no surprise upgrade fees, Citizenserve delivers outstanding value and helps local governments reduce administrative burden, improve efficiency, and provide better service to their communities.
