The Only Government Forms You Need!

Stop paying for 8 different forms vendors. Our forms were built with the needs of governments in mind.

Smart Fields.
Reduce confusion by displaying only the information needed. (For example, if a contractor checks that a building doesn’t have a basement, they won’t see questions about basements.)

Data Validation.
Spend less time fixing bad data. Form fields can require valid formats for dates, phone numbers, email addresses.

File Attachments.
No need to email files back and forth. Documents, certificates, plans, etc. can be uploaded directly into the case through the form.

Integrated into Workflows.
Each form creates a “case” – no data entry required. All documents remain with the case, and the submitter can see an updated status at any time.

Drag-and-Drop Creator.
Staff can create or modify forms without specialized coding knowledge.

Auto-Populate Fields.
When a user is logged in, fields such as name and tax ID number will automatically populate.

GIS Integration.
When an applicant types an address into a form, other information such as the owner’s name can be auto-populated from other databases.

Save Drafts.
If a customer needs to come back and finish a form later, they can save a draft.

What Our Clients Say...

Making a form for government business is different than making a form for a manufacturer. We’re replacing 8-10 vendors with GovBuilt forms. It’s saving us at least $30,000.

There can be 4-5 different forms that need to be completed for a single building inspection. Our old paperwork process required us to write and rewrite the same data — name, address, etc. — on each form separately. With GovBuilt, the information is typed in once and auto-populated into the rest.

Our old website didn’t have forms for accepting applications, GISing, or reporting concerns. Residents downloaded forms via PDF, printed them, then scanned and emailed them to one of us. Now they can find forms online, which slowed down my calls asking, ‘Can you send me this form?
