CityView Portal: Improved Usability for Mobile Devices

We’re pleased to announce that the CityView Portal now has improved usability for tablets, smartphones and handheld devices.

The CityView Portal is an important tool that provides citizens and contractors with the means to self-serve. Completely integrated with all modules in the CityView Suite, citizens and contracts can use the Portal to initiate code cases, apply for permits, request meetings and inspections, view public information regarding specific properties, and much more.
