Ditch the Burden of On-Prem Maintenance

Keeping your current permitting system running means constantly patching, updating, and maintaining servers, pulling valuable IT staff away from higher-impact community projects.

With Accela’s secure, cloud-based platform, you get:

  • Zero maintenance overhead: We handle hosting, upgrades, and performance monitoring for you.
  • Enterprise-grade security: Built on Microsoft Azure Government Cloud to protect sensitive project data and meet strict compliance standards.
  • Automatic updates: Stay current with the latest features and security enhancements-without downtime or disruption.

Future-Proof Your Building and Planning Operations

Legacy systems are often at the end of their development life-meaning no innovation, no new features, and no support for evolving community needs.

Accela delivers continuous innovation through:

  • Regular product releases that keep your agency ahead of technology and code changes.
  • Modern APIs and integrations with GIS, digital plan review, online payments, and inspection scheduling tools.
  • A dedicated roadmap backed by ongoing R&D investment to ensure your community development systems are ready for what’s next.

Your staff, builders, and residents deserve tools that will evolve with them-not software that’s standing still.

Get the Flexibility Your Department Needs

Rigid, outdated permitting software forces your team to work around system limitations instead of focusing on service delivery. Accela’s configurable platform adapts to your building and planning workflows, not the other way around:

  • Easily update permitting and inspection processes without heavy IT involvement.
  • Tailor dashboards, reports, and forms to your department’s needs.
  • Scale across departments-from Building to Planning to Environmental Health-without starting from scratch.

Why Accela?

  • Trusted by more than 600 agencies nationwide.
  • Proven to streamline permitting, accelerate approvals, and improve transparency for the public and development community.
  • Backed by U.S.-based government experts who understand building and community development challenges inside and out.
