Digital Community Development Software Massachusetts

Citizenserve is cloud-based digital community development software. We offer permitting, planning and zoning, licensing, request tracking, and code enforcement solutions. In this video, you can watch a demonstration of some of our software's functionality.

Submit a Digital Community Development (Building Permit) Application


First, a contractor Registers for a Portal Account. Then they submit a building permit online. Portal users can edit their applications, make payments, send messages, and request inspections through the Online Citizen Portal.

Review the Community Development Application


After submission, we log in as staff and review the home page. Staff can easily tweak their home page to show the tools they need. The application is automatically routed to staff for review. And as a result, they can approve it or send it back for more information. Here are some more cool software features:
- Each application can have its own workflow route.
- Supports consecutive or concurrent reviews.
- Select common phrases from the Comment Library.
- Add manual comments, send emails, and upload documents to the system.
- Add shapes, comments, and calculate measurements with the Document Markup tool.
- System conditions warn or stop staff from going rogue.

Once approved, Staff issue the permit. The contractor prints the permit and requests an inspection through the portal.

Digital Planning and Zoning Module


The Planning and Zoning module uses the same tools as a building permit. In addition, our workflows can manage design review meetings, city council meetings, and public hearings. As a result, we can generate meeting agendas and minutes from the database.

Digital Code Enforcement Module


Citizens can also submit code complaints through the citizen portal. Complaints are sent to staff for review. Once confirmed, the staff creates a code case for a junk vehicle and overgrown weeds. Citizenzserve also integrates with GIS systems to display GIS layers on a map. The Code Officer has full access to our cloud-based software in the field. They can add violations, take or upload photos, and produce letters using any browser-enabled device. Want to see more on our code enforcement module? Check out this demo on Cloud Based Online Code Enforcement.

Digital Health Inspections


Health inspections are usually tied to a health license. The inspection can be a required step for license approval and renewal. We will configure your inspection forms to track all required data. Then we'll create reports that display that data in the format you need. To learn more about our health licensing features, check out this live demo on Helath Licensing Software Enforcement Ticket.

Online Permitting and Code Enforcement Software

In today's demo, you’ll see example of citizenserve’s online permitting and code enforcement software. Citizenserve offers online solutions for Permitting, Licensing, Development Projects, Code Enforcement and Request Tracking. Watch as I submit a building permit application through the citizen portal. Then, I'll review the application to show what contractors, business owners, and citizens see when they submit an application. Next, we'll jump into the staff side of Citizenserve and perform the review activities required to approve and issue the permit.

Online Permitting Review Tools


Citizenserve offers many tools to support online permits, such as the Common Comments Book and the Document Markup Tool. Frequently cited comments are complied into an easy to use list called the Common Comments Book. Include these comments in communications to the applicant, or comment sheets to staff. Add shapes and comments to our site plans using the integrated Document Markup Tool. Include any comments in communication to the applicant or staff.

Citizenserve supports both consecutive and concurrent reviews. We'll configure your workflow to reflect your actual process. Each permit can have it's own workflow and set of required submittal documents. We'll work with you during project implementation to configure your permit applications and workflows.

Citizenserve also supports application changes and resubmission, plus it offers tools to help you communicate with the applicant. Resubmittals go through additional review routes, then approve and issue the permit.

It's easy to request an inspection with Citizenserve. Contractors submit the requests through the portal, and inspectors complete the inspection activity in the field. Citizenserve offers a central view of inspection data and history.

Once all inspections are completed, we final the permit and generate a certificate of occupancy.

Online Code Enforcement Software


Next, we delve into the Code Enforcement module of citizenserve. Citizens submit complaints and requests in the Citizen Portal. Citizenserve routes complaints and requests to the appropriate person or department. Working remotely, Inspectors can upload photographs and add violations to the inspection activity. It's also easy to schedule follow up activities and create notices and citations in the field.

Complete Customer Care

Once you go live, Citizenserve continues to support your staff. Check out our Complete Customer Care page for more information.
