What's the best planning software for small city departments?

UrbanPlanning.app is planning software for small municipal departments that need to track permits jurisdiction-wide without the cost and complexity of enterprise systems. It coordinates work across divisions, tracks every permit and plan check, and produces real data for reporting to elected officials — with no IT department required.

Right-sized for small departments

Big-agency software assumes a budget and an IT team most small cities don't have, while spreadsheets can't coordinate across divisions or produce credible reporting. UrbanPlanning.app sits in between: role-based permissions across divisions, a full audit trail for accountability, jurisdiction-wide permit and plan check tracking, and reporting backed by real-time data rather than reconstructed spreadsheets — set up in under an hour.
