“Building safety is vital to all who work in buildings, send their kids to school or shop at the local grocery store – we often just take building safety for granted.” Joe Bodnar, Chief Building Official

OpenGov's permit management software is a web-based electronic and document workflow solution that allows Owners, Architects, Contractors, and Homeowners to initiate and complete the building permit plan submission, review, approval, inspection, and payment process online from anywhere, 24 hours 7 days a week. 

In some cases, we also provide remote video inspections when in-person inspections are not possible. Our goal is to provide the best possible service to our customers while ensuring safe code-compliant construction.
