This isn't proof that permitting software can't work. Clariti — a permitting and licensing platform built specifically for local governments — has real results behind it: customers report cutting daily administrative work by as much as 87%, and Lakewood, Washington cut general permit processing times by 22% after switching to it. That's a genuine efficiency gain, not a number pulled from a press release. But notice what that number actually measures: one department's own software. Building & Safety, Planning, Fire, Health, and Engineering typically each control their own budget and their own procurement, on their own timeline, answering to their own funding. One department buying great software doesn't obligate the department down the hall to buy anything, let alone the same thing — and it says nothing about what a county-level agency reviewing the same project happens to be running. The Real Variable. That's really the same fragmentation that shows up everywhere in permitting, just visible in a new place. It's not only that every jurisdiction sets its own process and its own requirements — it's that a lot of what actually happens to your application comes down to something a lot less official than any of that: who's reviewing it that day, what kind of mood they're in, whether they're rushing to get to something else before you've even finished explaining the scope. That same autonomy governs procurement, too. What a department can actually afford to buy, staff, or maintain depends entirely on that department's own resources, independent of whatever the department next door decided to do. Why It Happened This Way. EPIC-LA turning out the way it did isn't a coincidence. Tyler rarely sells permitting on its own — it enters through a city or county's finance or HR relationship and expands sideways into permitting as an add-on module, which is exactly how EPIC-LA ended up running on EnerGov in the first place. That's a big part of why Tyler shows up in thousands more government contracts nationally than a permitting-first company like Clariti. The trade-off is documented beyond just our own experience, too — government buyers on G2 report integration errors between Tyler's EnerGov permitting module and its Munis finance system, including duplicate invoicing, and smaller jurisdictions say the platform carries more overhead than their actual permit volume needs. Broader adoption bought through an enterprise bundle isn't the same thing as a better experience. Sometimes it just means a whole jurisdiction standardized on something clunky together, instead of one department choosing something good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687d842dfd84954f84f3560a/c4808c20-573a-442d-a577-7bdd86b01095/ACC+-+Compare+Version+History.png All Things RE:Development - All Things RE: Development, Issue 003 - Data Management. The single biggest fix was also the simplest to state: one current record of every project file, in one place, instead of scattered across whoever last touched it. That alone resolved the "which version is real" problem that had been quietly stalling coordination for months. It also changed how comment responses got handled — instead of trying to reconstruct what had already been addressed from memory or a chain of emails, responses to plan check comments could be compared directly against version history, so it was immediately clear what had actually been resolved and what still needed work. Issues and Reports. Every one of the 25-plus reviews got tracked as a live record instead of an item someone had to remember to follow up on. That gave the team a single, consolidated, real-time view of exactly where each review stood, available 24/7 — a genuine step up from the prior setup, where status on any given review depended entirely on whether someone thought to ask the right sub-consultant that week. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687d842dfd84954f84f3560a/db155ebc-1900-4d7f-8bc3-73c1bf91268f/ACC+-+Workplan.png All Things RE:Development - All Things RE: Development, Issue 003 - Schedule and Workplans. The project schedule moved into the same ecosystem as everything else instead of living on a separate scheduling tool that only some of the team ever opened. With 25-plus approvals in motion, that mattered more than it would on a simpler project — schedule risk on any one of those reviews was now visible in the same place as the rest of the project's forecasting, not siloed off in a tool half the stakeholders never checked. Bridge. The AOR, the sub-consultants, and the outside reviewing agencies on a project like this one don't run on the same systems or the same templates. Every firm has its own version of how it tracks a project, built up over years of doing it that way. Bridge is the capability built for exactly that mismatch — it's what lets teams keep working inside their own proprietary templates and workflows while still syncing back to the same shared environment, instead of forcing everyone onto one party's system or leaving them to reconcile everything by hand. https://www.itsjustpermits.com/all-things-redevelopment/002-review-in-progress monthly 0.5 2026-08-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687d842dfd84954f84f3560a/1787200064857-EZXKQS9S1EE6ALK9QN21/unsplash-image-3XKQtcjePYw.jpg All Things RE:Development - All Things RE: Development, Issue 002 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687d842dfd84954f84f3560a/1787187043203-NBN7MGMDGDKU169U13O4/unsplash-image-LKPVcGy5IzY.jpg All Things RE:Development - All Things RE: Development, Issue 002 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.itsjustpermits.com/all-things-redevelopment/001-building-the-case monthly 0.5 2026-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687d842dfd84954f84f3560a/783a4e0b-acb5-4c9a-a000-da8bd93ad850/Self-Cert.jpeg All Things RE:Development - All Things RE: Development, Issue 001 - LADBS's Commercial TI Self-Certification program is now live on ePlan. In short: it applies self-certification to commercial tenant improvements citywide, but only on a limited basis — low-complexity, non-structural scopes, no change of use, stamped by a Self-Certified Professional instead of routed through a LADBS plan checker. Full program details are on LADBS's site. It's real progress, and it's also early. As of this writing, the Self-Certification roster doesn't yet show registered commercial architects certified under the program, and intake staff still exercise discretion over which project scopes actually get routed through. "Self-certified" doesn't mean "self-service" yet — the infrastructure is being built in public, in real time.
