Building officials, permit technicians, plan reviewers, and inspectors, as well as the contractors, homeowners, and developers submitting applications. GovWell is designed to serve both sides of the process.
GovWell supports the full range of permit types: building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, grading, demolition, and more. Workflows are fully configurable, so your team can set up any permit type to match how your jurisdiction actually operates.
Inspectors can schedule, manage, and document inspections from the field from any device using our mobile app. Community members can request inspections online, see scheduled times, and get automatic updates on results. Everything is logged and connected to the permit record automatically.
A dedicated Deployment Strategist configures your workflows, migrates your data, and trains your team. Most jurisdictions go live in weeks, not months, and we stay involved after launch to make sure everything continues to work for your community.
GovWell combines modern usability, purpose-built AI, and a support model that treats you like a partner. Staff actually use GovWell because it's intuitive — and when you need help, you reach a real person who knows your setup.
