Building departments
Building permit software for municipal departments
PermiPro brings applications, supporting documents and departmental reviews together for Canadian municipal building teams, from intake to decision.
Keep the application and review work together
Bring application information and supporting documents into a shared workflow. Assign reviews to staff, keep comments and requested changes with the application, and see what is pending and what can move forward.
Municipal staff remain responsible for interpreting requirements and making permit decisions.
Follow a deck addition application through review
Illustrative example: a fictional application showing intake and review coordination, rather than a customer result or a list of required documents.
Receive the submission
A permit administrator receives a deck addition application and brings its application details together at intake.
Hand off the supporting documents
A site plan and deck drawings stay with the application as it moves from intake to staff review. Reviewers can consider the documents alongside the application information.
Assign staff review
Building and planning staff are assigned to review the application, with a shared view of the review work.
Request clarification
A reviewer asks for a clearer dimension on the site plan. The comment and requested change stay with the application.
Identify the next step
The pending request makes the next action clear: provide the revised detail for staff review. Staff assess the response before proceeding toward a decision.

What should a small municipality look for in permitting software?
Use a demo to assess how intake, documents and reviews fit your department’s work. Bring a representative application and walk through these questions:
- Which application types do you handle, and what information does each need at intake?
- Which supporting documents belong with each application, and how will reviewers find them?
- Which departments need to review the application, and who is responsible at each handoff?
- How will staff keep clarification requests and comments with the application?
- How will your team see pending work and identify the next action?
- Which functions are available for your configuration, and which are planned?
Inspection management
An optional add-on connects application-linked requests, day and week schedules, site photos, deficiencies and follow-up visits.
An internet connection is required; contractor-report acceptance and automatic permit clearances remain future work.
