New Release FAQs

All customers will be upgraded to the new release by June 2023. Between now and then, you may receive an email notifying you of an earlier upgrade date - do nothing to accept the upgrade date, or submit a support request to postpone your site's upgrade.
Our New Release delivers our community development software suite in a completely revamped format. With an updated layout, condensed menus, additional metrics, and over 150 customer requests, the New Release is a major upgrade to an already robust system.
As always, systemwide enhancements are included in your software subscription. There is no charge to upgrade to the New Release.

Permitting Software for Governments

Watch this demo to see citizenserve's permitting software for governments. In this video, we'll submit and pay for a permit application on the Online Portal, we'll review the project from staff side, and we'll use the integrated document markup tool to markup a plan set. We'll issue a permit, view it from the online portal, then we'll request an inspection and complete it from a mobile device. Request your live demo below!
