Municipal Permit Software
Create, Track and Manage
Permits for Any Type of Activity
The Permit module allows you to create, manage, track and report on permits of any type. Our municipal permit software is designed to integrate with CenterPoint Fund Accounting, so permit transactions post automatically to the correct fund or account. It also integrates with Diversified Mobile Work Orders to manage permit inspections and with Diversified Billing.
This government permit software’s interface is clean and simple. It is quick to learn and easy to become proficient. Like Diversified Billing and CenterPoint Fund Accounting, it is available with a traditional license for your LAN or as a Cloud subscription.
