Our clients

“Three more communities are joining Citizenserve in 2020 after realizing the ease with which the other communities functioned during recent pandemic shutdowns. To be completely able to move your department’s business through online transactions including registrations, plan review and obtaining permits has been tremendous for us.

The customer service that Citizenserve provides is spot on! I always receive a response from a representative the same day I submit my service request, and it is typically completed within 24 hours or less. When a solution takes longer, it is because what I’ve asked for is more complex. The representatives are professional, knowledgeable and very easy to work with!
