Challenge

With the glittering Atlantic Ocean lapping at its shore, Sea Girt, New Jersey, draws hordes of tourists seeking rest and relaxation. Until recently, Sea Girt’s Zoning Department professionals needed a vacation more than most. They would manually enter information from paper zoning permit applications into an Excel sheet, transpose inspection data entered in the field the same way and regularly spend up to 10 minutes on the phone answering applicants’ questions.

Solution

Sea Girt automated its zoning permit application and issuance process with GovPilot to cut steps and save time. Paper applications have been replaced with GovPilot’s digital form. Residents can apply for a zoning permit at any hour, from any device, through the form on Sea Girt’s official website. Submitted forms are neat, complete and free from errors. They wind their way through an automated workflow that pushes news of status updates to employees and applicants alike, greatly reducing the length and frequency of phone calls.
