Our clients

“Citizenserve has proven to be one of the most responsive software vendors I have ever worked with. Building permitting is immensely complicated, as are health citations. Citizenserve has proven to be an excellent partner in building complex, multi-faceted and integrated solutions to meet the city’s needs in these areas. We have submitted literally hundreds of requests for enhancements, improvements, changes since launch, and they responded quickly to every one of them.”

“I really value the customer service provided by citizenserve. It’s refreshing that the company continues to make customers their priority. It does not happen often these days.”

Lisa in Sahuarita, AZ

“This software is easy to learn and to use. My building department went to online permitting, the permit technicians are ecstatic that 60% of the phone calls and 80% of the walk-ins have been eliminated and the call-in inspections have gone down 90% because the contractors are now going to the online portal for their inspection requests.”
