“I have implemented permit tracking systems with other organizations, and Citizenserve is by far the smoothest and easiest implementation. The Citizenserve team is very responsive to the needs of the County and are great to work with, especially during the pandemic. Citizenserve drastically improves efficiency and reduces friction in the permitting and planning process.”
