Residents of San Bernardino can now submit their projects to the city from the comfort of their home
Yet another city has chosen to go digital and implement an online permitting system. Inland Empire Community News (IECN) reported that San Bernardino has decided to begin using the new system to make it more convenient for the city's residents. Tracking, submitting proposals, and monitoring projects in a quicker, more organized manner is enough to convince SB's management to optimize their city.
"Homeowners and builders taking on a new roofing project, installing a new patio cover, swimming pool, or water heater can use EZ Online Permitting to submit an application for the necessary permits.
EZ Online Permitting allows users to submit applications, pay fees and upload plans all in one place. Applicants can monitor the progress and cost of projects in real time from anywhere the internet can be accessed,"
IECN reported.
Another benefit for the city's residents lies in the transparency of going digital. "[The online permitting system] provides the public with improved access and transparency in the land development and building permitting process," the press release read.
Here at CityForce, we love to brag about the awesome, user-friendly features of our innovative software suite, but the transparency aspect of going digital could possibly be the best benefit of all.
