Questions? We’ve got answers

Very little! All we need is for you to upload your ArcGIS shapefiles, permit catalog, municipal code, and other relevant data — then we do the rest! Once we've finished the configuration, we'll need your team's help during the testing and quality assurance process to ensure OpenCounter meets all of your needs.

Many customers begin their OpenCounter engagement with one or two portals and then expand to additional solutions over time. Some jurisdictions implement more portals at once to receive a discount. No matter your city's current zoning and permitting needs, OpenCounter is ready to work with you to deliver a solution that makes your permitting operations stronger and improves the constituent experience.

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.
