Benchmark's Permitting and Database System
Does your community want to make the move to digital permitting or expand your existing digital capabilities?
After many years of practical, hands-on experience running the day-to-day functions of planning and community development departments across the state, Benchmark has developed a unique and user-friendly permitting and database system that can help you in your day-to-day comprehensive permitting activities. Benchmark developed this system in an effort to efficiently process and track zoning, subdivision, development, and other forms of permitting for its client communities. Our clients have realized significant cost savings and have avoided headaches that come with third party stand alone software. In addition, our clients enjoy the ability to quickly generate development progress and enforcement progress reports for elected officials and concerned citizens.
