Government agencies are under pressure to deliver services faster, more transparently, and with fewer resources. That’s why we’re excited to announce
Accela’s acquisition of ePermitHub—a major step forward in modernizing the permitting and plan review process for state and local governments.
Unlocking New Efficiencies with ePermitHub
ePermitHub brings industry-leading technology in electronic plan review, including its popular Digital Plan Room and COMET Version Engine. These tools are fully integrated into the Accela Civic Platform, streamlining how government agencies receive, review, and approve plans.
Here’s what that means for our customers:
- Simplified Submissions: Submitted plans are automatically checked for completeness and accuracy–cutting down on back-and-forth and speeding up intake.
- Smarter Collaboration: Built-in markup tools and version tracking make it easier for agencies and applicants to communicate and resolve issues–without starting from scratch.
- Faster Turnaround, Lower Costs: With less manual work and fewer delays, agencies can shorten review cycles, reduce costs, and improve satisfaction for residents and developers alike.
Coming Soon: AI-Driven Plan Review
While ePermitHub’s immediate benefits are available today, we’re also building for the future. Accela is investing in AI capabilities to accelerate further and improve the plan review process.
In the near future, you’ll see features like:
- Automated code interpretation and compliance checks
- Real-time feedback on plan issues before submission
- AI-assisted review of complex plan sets to support faster decision-making
These innovations are being developed using ePermitHub’s rich repository of plan data–ensuring accuracy, speed, and real-world relevance.
Stronger Together
By combining ePermitHub’s advanced plan review technology with the power of the Accela Civic Platform, we’re enabling governments to move faster, serve better, and plan smarter. From building to zoning and beyond, this integration is here to streamline your review processes and improve service delivery.
Stay tuned—we’re just getting started.
