Accela Automation® can be used to track and manage a wide variety of land use and building department responsibilities and activities including building safety, code enforcement, permitting, inspections, plan reviews, and project management. It allows you to speed up the process of getting from application to occupancy, while reducing errors and data redundancy with a single database.

Complete automation for Building department processes:

Track and manage all permit types. Accela Automation automates the hundreds of steps involved with completing a permit—application check-in, plan reviews, fee calculation and collection, inspections, sign-offs, task lists, and more—and lets you define and manage the sequence of tasks to mimic your department’s existing workflow.

Assign, schedule, and route inspections. Once a permit is in the inspection phase, you can assign, schedule, and route inspections to the appropriate person.

Administer effective code enforcement. Utilizing a central database of all activities, people, documents, and other information needed to successfully resolve complex code enforcement issues, staff can provide timely response to complaints or inquiries.

Perform inspections from the field. Armed with a mobile device and Accela Wireless™ software, field inspectors can interact with the agency database in real time, access daily inspection schedules, create new cases in the field, and submit inspection results remotely.

Improve customer service with Accela Citizen Access™. By providing online access to government services like looking up information, applying and paying for permits, and printing off completed paperwork, staff has more time for other functions and citizens save time and money.
