Cut red tape. Streamline services. Deliver more with less.

The Florida DOGE initiative, introduced by Governor Ron DeSantis, is a bold step toward eliminating waste, streamlining operations, and improving the speed and quality of public service delivery. At Accela, we’re here to help turn that vision of efficient, modern government into a reality.

Accela delivers a powerful platform built specifically for state and local governments to digitize permitting, licensing, inspections, and code enforcement—boosting efficiency, reducing costs, and improving service delivery.
