Second fastest-growing region in the US to
modernize the permitting process with permit discovery solution
from OpenCounter
OpenCounter, a leading provider of public sector permitting
technology, announced today that Polk County, FL has selected the
company’s permit discovery solutions to streamline the permitting
and land development processes for residents, business owners, and
the development community. OpenCounter is a business unit of GTY
Technology Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: GTYH) (“GTY”), a leading provider
of SaaS/Cloud solutions for the public sector.
The population of Polk County has grown by more than 20% since
2010, and its strategic location alongside major highways
connecting Tampa and Orlando has made it a sought-after location
for homes and businesses. The county intends to capitalize on its
momentum by identifying and implementing innovative solutions to
universal challenges and establish a reputation as a top region to
conduct business in Florida.
Leveraging OpenCounter’s Zoning, Business, and Residential
Permit Discovery portals, the county will facilitate growth by
establishing a better permitting experience for staff and
applicants. The online self-service portals, anticipated to launch
later this year, will eliminate the need to visit or contact
separate county departments to find answers to permitting
questions. Applicants will be able to access intuitive tools and
resources at any time, from any internet-connected device, to more
effectively and independently navigate each step of the permitting
process. By integrating directly with Accela ACA, the county’s
permitting system of record, OpenCounter will establish a complete,
seamless permitting experience from discovery through issuance and
compliance.
“Polk County is growing rapidly, and if we are going to
capitalize on that momentum we need innovative solutions that make
doing business easier,” said Benjamin Dunn, Building Director, Polk
County. “We are really excited about how OpenCounter will serve as
a wealth of information for the area, a resource to help navigate
permitting, and a means of streamlining our business processes. We
anticipate that both applicants and staff will see a great
improvement in their overall experience and a greater number of
businesses who are eager to work here.”
“Polk County is a fantastic example of a region committed to
supporting growth through innovation,” Joel Mahoney, CEO and
co-founder of OpenCounter. “By modernizing the permitting process,
Polk County will accelerate economic development and become an even
more attractive hub for businesses. We’re thrilled to add Polk
County to our expanding register of Florida customers which
includes innovative local governments in Miami, Orlando, and Pasco
County.”
