UrbanPlanning.app is a permit tracking software built specifically for urban planners, permit expeditors, and planning firms. It replaces spreadsheets and scattered emails with one workspace that tracks every permit from intake to closeout, shows live agency-review status, and keeps clients updated automatically.
Every permit gets a dedicated workspace holding files, tasks, notes, and contacts in one place. The plan check manager shows the live status of each agency review, tracks correction cycles, and sets turnaround SLAs so nothing stalls in someone's inbox. Deadline alerts and milestone tracking mean a missed renewal or expired approval becomes a thing of the past.
