Permits, Inspections & Licensing

Comprehensive land management oversight system

RevenueSense® Permits, Inspections and Licensing provides a comprehensive, centralized system for recording and tracking all building, health, planning and zoning department application and permitting activities. Each municipal department can view and track all activities related to a parcel of land or the property records. Required steps can be defined for each process and automatic inspection reminder notices can be configured into the system. In addition, RevenueSense has powerful licensing capabilities.

Enhanced Inter-Department Communication
The easy-to-use table-driven and user-defined system improves communication and coordination between departments. All users can clearly view new construction, variances and zoning changes that affect recorded properties. Record and retrieve selected data on each type of permit or decision. Permits and building inspection applications can be quickly entered into the system.

Activities Streamline Review Process
Activities are required steps to be taken and include inspection requests, issuance of a permit, and reminders. With activities, you can easily include all your business rules in the system and then enter the business rules necessary to issue a COC or COD. Additional inspections can be scheduled for specified future dates. Activities can also activate automatic inspection scheduling by location and send important information to specific individuals and departments.

Customized Permit Creation and Monitoring
Select a permit type and create individual permits with appropriate fields. Either enter a permit number or use activities and checklists to create your application, permits or certificates. Link the names of an applicant, contractors or tradespeople to a permit and you can oversee all work performed by these individuals or companies. Permits can also be linked to multiple properties and municipal departments so inspectors can monitor the status of all inspections.

Easily Schedule Inspections
Schedule inspections from an activity, such as an inspection request or automatic scheduling, or from a department message. Scheduling is automatically integrated with Outlook calendars so updates can be downloaded each day to handheld systems and inspections can be scheduled quickly and efficiently for each inspector. Many permits and properties can be linked to an inspection group for easy coordination. Inspection results can also be loaded on an inspector’s laptop in the field and downloaded at the office at the end of the day.

Track Decisions, Offenses, Appeals and Complaints
Record and track all land management decisions with user-defined tables and links to properties and individuals. Keep track of all violations by types or codes. Assign activities to offenses and link offenses to a permit, application or complaint. Track the prosecution and appeals of offenders. Record names of all involved in the process and designate tasks to be completed. With full integration between inspection, permitting and communication, all departments can also review and take action on complaints.

Tailor-Made Licensing System
Create any type of municipal license needed, including business, individual and animal licenses. The system tracks all license activity, from application to expiration. Specific parameters can be developed for each license type, with unlimited note fields available. Easily track correspondence and license expirations.
