PERMITS.com Launches FREE GovAccess Platform
Permits.com, a platform for property owners and contractors to apply for construction-related permits nationwide, has launched GovAccess.
Contractors in 17,000 U.S. cities and towns can use the free platform to expedite permit requests and inspections online, allowing contractors to access critical information and approvals they need for building in the face of COVID-19 and beyond.
Due to the pandemic, building departments have closed or have restrictions on how they support service providers, workers and property owners. These restrictions limit the access, speed and procurement for contractors able and willing to work. Delayed permits and inspections could be long-lasting, ranging from costly project delays to potential public safety issues.
“We understand the impact COVID-19 is having on our country, particularly contractors operating in smaller municipalities,” said Permits.com CEO & founder Ray Antonino. “GovAccess strengthens the resilience of local governments, promotes civic engagement and accelerates economic development by moving the permitting process online.”
Permits.com was designed in partnership with property owners, contractors and local governments. Local municipalities pay nothing.
