Permitting software for governments
Community Development
Streamlining the maintenance of municipal property is easier with our permitting software for governments.
Eliminate the silos, paperwork, and inefficiencies by implementing DACRA Tech’s streamlined property maintenance process.
With the DACRA Tech Community Development System, local government agencies can eradicate repetitious data entry and excessive paperwork while coordinating every phase of municipal property maintenance, from Service Requests and Inspections to Permits and Citations.
The Community Development system encompasses a series of sequential and stand-alone activities plus customizable workflows that ensure community compliance and building code compliance to locally established standards.
DACRA’s Community Development platform allows administrators and code enforcement personnel to update pertinent information continually regarding individual properties and ownership.
Cross-department accessibility provides real-time information updates and historical data of all activities related to each property’s compliance, reducing the unnecessary duplication of records and superfluous documentation. Request a demo of our permitting software for governments.
How the DACRA Tech Platform Facilitates Community Development
The DACRA Tech System comprises customizable modules that provide an easily accessible snapshot of current and past inspections, code compliance issues, permit issuances, warnings and violations, fine payments, and other resolutions.
On-the-spot data entry or modifications creates or adds to the historic, quickly available, and easy-to-read record of code-related activities for each property, eliminating the need to pore through files of old and inconsistent paperwork.

… Modules, the Building Inspector can simultaneously report any infractions and issue an eCitation or Warning while still at the location.
The Inspector or other authorized enforcement personnel can also access the eCitation Module to issue a Warning or a Citation. These actions will be reflected on the individual property page and recorded for appropriate follow-up.
A Warning will initiate and schedule a follow-up inspection to determine whether the Code Violation has been addressed. Unheeded Warnings usually result in a Citation and a subsequent Adjudication action. With Dacra’s Building Code Module, tickets can progress directly into the adjudication process.
Inspectors or authorized officials can add photographic proof and other documentation to the file to support their decision to issue the citation. Should the violation reach a Hearing, this additional proof is readily available to the hearing officer as needed.
