Permitting is one of the most visible services a municipality provides. From a resident building a backyard deck to a developer breaking ground on a new commercial site, permits are the touchpoint between local government and the public. When the permitting process is smooth, everything else flows better.

The Advanced Permitting Module in the SmartFusion suite helps municipalities track, manage, and issue permits with greater clarity and fewer delays.

Bring Structure and Visibility to Every Project

The Advanced Permitting Module connects permit records directly to property locations. This means your staff can instantly see a complete timeline: applied dates, approval steps, payment status, inspection notes, and expiration dates. No more digging through file cabinets or toggling between systems.

Each permit can be part of a larger project, giving your teams a clean view of how permits relate to broader initiatives. Whether it's a multi-phase commercial build or a series of residential inspections, everything stays connected.

Built for How Your Staff Works

Permit fees are calculated automatically using rate tables you control. Inspections can be scheduled, recorded, and updated without duplicate entry. Payments, contractor validations, and related documents are all accessible from one place.

The system also integrates with SmartFusion’s Business License module, helping your team confirm that contractors are properly licensed before work begins.

Information That’s Always Current

SmartFusion provides shared data across departments. Staff can view permit histories directly from the utility billing or customer location screen. When all the information is in one place, communication improves and follow-ups are faster.

Clearer Records. Better Service.

Documents, images, and notes can be attached directly to a permit file, giving teams the full context without having to chase details. With fewer gaps and less manual entry, staff can spend more time working with residents and businesses.

Built-in expiration tracking helps prevent overlooked deadlines. Cash-only flags and permit history indicators help your team make confident, informed decisions.
