One-Stop-Shop Online By Sungard Pentamation

On-Line Permitting & Code Enforcement Online is an Internet Kiosk for the Encompass Community Development System. It provides the ability to search and display information about property records, permits, contractors, licenses and other related information contained within Encompass.

Property Search allows the operator to search and display property information such as assessment, ownership, zoning and other demographic information. Property may be searched using common request information and when found can be linked to related permit information. This function may also be linked to an internet accessible GIS if available.

Contractor Search allows the operator to search and display contractor information like contact, registration and licensing information. Optionally, it also permits access to information regarding recent projects within the community.

Permit Status provides real time information regarding the permit application and plan review status, (including reviewer notes). It also allows the display of inspection schedules and complete result information for qualified persons.

Permit Application gives the contractor or property owner the ability to submit a permit application for approved permit types. Ownership, competency requirements, project description and related information can be submitted and will be “forwarded” to the Encompass System. Permit technicians will have access to the information immediately and can complete the process or otherwise approve the application, reducing turn-around time and minimizing “down-time” for the applicant.

Inspection Status provides qualified individuals with the ability to request inspections online. Existing inspection information for the affected permit is available and pending inspections can be rescheduled as needed. Requests are immediately reflected within Encompass for access by inspectors and scheduling personnel.

Code Enforcement tracks complaints and ordinance violations from initial contact through resolution and displays the detail case information as well as the inspections. A variety of search methods are provided for flexibility, and help ensure fast, accurate results.
