PermitPay

PermitPay is a web + mobile app that helps cities and counties consolidate “small-dollar” revenue collection—permits, licenses, inspections, citations, and miscellaneous fees—into a single, modern checkout experience. Many governments still rely on fragmented vendor portals, paper forms, and counter payments, which drives long lines, unpaid balances, and staff time spent reconciling deposits. PermitPay provides a branded resident/business portal, supports card/ACH, auto-generates receipts, and syncs payments to the right department and fund code. On the back end, staff get a simple dashboard for reconciliation, refunds, and audit trails, plus export files compatible with common ERP/accounting systems. This is not a magical replacement for core tax systems; it’s a practical layer that fixes the messy edge cases where revenue leaks and customer experience is worst. It can be rolled out department-by-department without a full system replacement.
