PermitLV is everything you need to conduct permitting and maintenance task.

Assistance with perform my daily activities as a code enforcement professional.

PROS

The ease of use and the availability of the reports that every building department relies on. Very useful for small departments as well as larger organizations.

CONS

It is not compatible with apple apps. I use an ipad and iphone for inspections and code enforcement. Apple compatibility would be a nice addition in my opinion.

Permit-LV of Scotland County, North Carolina

I have worked with the Scotland County Inspection Department for approximately four or five years and I have really enjoyed this software since I've been working with this department. The ease of usage. Simple.

PROS

I like mostly about this software is that the simplicity of it all. You can set the settings to pertain to what you are doing.

CONS

In some occasions, when you input permits, the system shows input twice.

Vendor Response

The occasional duplicate permit creation issue has been solved.

WindoWear is very user friendly

PROS

WindowWear is very easy to use and is user friendly. Printing reports are also very helpful and easy to manage.

CONS

There are some areas that I wish were more customizable. Sometimes the program shuts itself down when in the middle of a process.

Permit-LV Review

Have used Permit-LV for nine years. The City of Radford looked at many permit systems and found Permit -LV to be the most cost effective and easiest to use. The ability to generate and view reports at the touch of a button makes our office much more efficient. The best feature is customer support. To be able to talk to the designer of the software at a moments notice keeps the system up without downtime and allows our locality to customize for our specific needs.

Superb customer service. Easy set up.

It helped us form the core of our organizational procedure enabling us to track permits, inspections, violations, contractors etc. in an efficient and productive manner.

PROS

It is highly customizable. Again, the customer service is excellent- one-on-one personal communication, no "tickets" to fill out, immediate correspondence.

CONS

We had a little trial and error using the Traveling PLV to find the hardware that worked best in the field, but we found it and everything works great.

Some things are a little "labor intensive" to enter but overall, none. It does what we need it to do.

Permit-LV Building Dept Software

Overall it has been an improvement on the last permit software used. The reports are easier to find and use, and generally include more information, which helps save paper. Any issue that came up with the software was immediately attended to by customer service, which was a big problem with the last software used.

PROS

The best feature about this software is the ability to customize is to each municipality. We were able to tailor the permit and inspection selections to the ones specifically used by our jurisdiction.

CONS

The only downside has been the software force quitting during use - some days it happens less than others. This may be linked to user error.

Permit- LV

Our Municipality has been using Permit LV for over 10 years. It has been nothing short of an amazing software system to issue permits, track revenue and generate just about any type of report needed. If something else is required all it takes is a phone call to have it put in the works. The tech support is stellar and connections and solutions are addressed within minutes. We have confidence that Permit LV will remain one of the integral parts of the Village of Grafton's partners in software. Thank you for making our permitting system so stream line and modern. It is a joy to work with them. Sincerely, Cindy Cindy Geiger Assessment Technician 860 Badger Circle Village of Grafton Grafton, WI 53024 Ph (262)-375-5305 Fax (262)-375-5312

the most personal consideration you will ever get from any software company

cost savings from permit printing cost, tracking of permits, reports of permits, professional appearance, the ability for the next person after I'm gone to view previous permits

PROS

This software is tailored to building inspection departments, and support team knows the business and helps you get it all set up. There is someone you can call that knows where you are and what you need.

CONS

I felt setting up all of the parameters was not quite as intuitive as it could've been. If you use the software a lot this wouldn't be a problem.
