Answer applicants’ permitting questions before they get to City Hall.

Most permitting software lets applicants apply online, but how do they know which permits to apply for? OpenCounter helps applicants answer pre-application questions without calls, emails, or visits to City Hall, while streamlining staff processes for increased efficiency.

Questions? We've got answers.

Project time frames depend on the scale of implementation. We can deliver a single customized portal in fewer than two months, whereas a suite of portals will take between three and six months to deliver. (But remember, our white-glove service means we do all of the heavy lifting!)

Costs will vary depending on the population size of your jurisdiction and the number of portals you procure. Regardless of the scope of services, however, rest assured that OpenCounter has affordable pricing models for jurisdictions of all sizes.

Yes, we can. We have three levels of integrations available — light, medium, and deep — to ensure our products work seamlessly with any or all of your existing systems.
