What is BluePrince Cloud?

BluePrince Cloud is cloud-based software for permitting, planning and code enforcement, built for small local governments. It runs in a web browser, so staff can manage applications, schedule inspections and track code cases without installing or maintaining software on local servers.

How is BluePrince Cloud different from CityView Suite?

BluePrince Cloud and CityView Suite are both built by CityView for local government permitting and community development. BluePrince Cloud is designed for smaller municipalities with fewer staff and a leaner budget, with a simpler feature set focused on core permitting, planning and code enforcement tasks. CityView Suite offers a broader range of modules for larger or more complex organizations.

What is cloud-based permitting software?

Cloud-based permitting software runs on remote servers instead of local hardware, so staff can access it through a web browser from any location. For small local governments, this removes the cost and labor of maintaining on-site servers, applying security updates and managing backups in-house.

What functions does BluePrince Cloud support?

BluePrince Cloud supports building permitting, planning and zoning, code enforcement, inspections, citizen and contractor self-service, and reporting. It also integrates with payment processors and Esri GIS.

Is BluePrince Cloud a good fit for small towns and counties?

BluePrince Cloud is built specifically for small local governments, including towns and counties with limited IT staff and smaller budgets. It covers the core permitting, planning and code enforcement functions these departments need without the cost or complexity of a larger enterprise system.

Cloud-based permitting software designed for small local governments

BluePrince Cloud is a cloud-based permitting, planning and code enforcement platform built for small local governments. It gives staff secure, browser-based access to permitting, inspections and code enforcement tools without the cost or burden of maintaining local servers.

Smaller departments often run lean: one or two building officials, no dedicated IT staff, budgets that don't stretch to enterprise software. BluePrince Cloud is built for that reality. Staff can process permits, schedule inspections and manage code cases from any device with an internet connection, while residents and contractors handle routine requests online instead of in person.

Why choose BluePrince Cloud?

BluePrince Cloud offers a suite of features designed to simplify community development for small local governments:

Reduce IT workload

No servers to maintain, no backups to manage, no security patches to schedule. BluePrince Cloud handles the infrastructure so your staff can focus on permits, not IT tickets.

Anywhere access

Staff can log in from the office, the field or home, on any device with a browser. No VPN, no special software to install.

User-friendly interface

Staff can learn the system quickly, with minimal training, so new hires and part-time staff get up to speed fast.

Scalable for growth

BluePrince Cloud is built on widely adopted, well-supported technology, so it keeps working as your community grows and your needs change.

“I would recommend BluePrince Cloud to any jurisdiction that is trying to find an affordable foothold in the industry.”
