Streamlined Housing Management
Manage your housing stock, generate income from short-term rental property permits, conduct inspections, and increase home ownership rates through GovPilot's unified cloud-based platform.
With GovPilot’s end-to-end digital forms, constituents can submit applications for housing inspections, first-time homebuyer programs, and rental property permits.
Process requests, file permits and collect online credit card payments. Now, work that used to take days takes minutes. With accessible cross-departmental data, government employees can instantly search parcel-level records and create professionally formatted reports in just a few clicks.
Constituent Convenience
Provide constituents with the online convenience they have come to expect and the ability to easily interact with their government. Online payments via an integrated credit card processor allow your government to collect payments for permits and renewals instantly as a requirement of form submissions, ensuring your department meets its budget goals on time.
Eliminate repetitive, time consuming work for your staff. Emails automatically send at the appropriate time to the appropriate property owner with a digital form to capture annual renewal payments and other necessary information such as proof of insurance.
