Case Studies

Ridgefield, Washington, is a small city in southern Washington located 10 miles north of Vancouver, USA, 20 miles north of Portland, Oregon, and situated along the Columba River. The city’s existing permitting processes had met the city’s needs sufficiently while growth was static (around 15 new home building permits per year). But those processes quickly became inefficient when Ridgefield began growing dramatically (206 residential permits in 2004 and 313 residential permits in 2005, as well as increased planning and engineering permitting activity).

Coconino County, AZ
The Challenge

Coconino, County, Arizona, the second largest county in the United States, was looking to upgrade its existing permitting system. Three county departments—community development, public works, and health—issue permits, and each department had separate, non-integrated systems and manual processes. The county lacked a central permit data and reporting repository, there was no technology in place to help enforce countywide permitting standards, and there was no way for the public to efficiently communicate with the departments or review permit status.
