But the GIS Integration...

Integration Capabilities

Make Data Public

Improve transparency by giving the public access to data including permits, zoning, code violations, public works, and more through an ArcGIS map.

Enhance Address-Based Processes

Leverage ArcGIS to validate locations and addresses from within GovBuilt for processes that require location information, like facility reservations, cemetery directories, and more.

Comprehensive Reporting

Pull up a detailed map with parcels flagged based on certain criteria (for example, display a map with all code violations in a given area in the last 30 days).

Parcel History

Applications are saved with the parcel number and applied to the parcel genealogy so you can easily find historical transactions.

Integrate Unlimited Layers

You can access all your ArcGIS layers within GovBuilt.

Auto-complete Forms

When an applicant types an address, other information such as parcel number, owner’s name, etc. is pulled into the form, reducing data entry errors and time spent on applications.

Automatically Check Zoning

If someone wants to start a business on a particular parcel, the system can automatically check its zoning eligibility.

Draw and Annotate

Use the annotation tools to pinpoint an exact location. For example, someone reporting a code violation can be even more precise than giving an address.

What Our Clients Say...

The number one feature that has changed our world here is that seamless online capability and coordination with multiple departments and multiple jurisdictions. With GovBuilt, all departments get what they need as soon as I hit ‘enter’ on my keyboard. That online capability has been amazing.

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?
