Problem Statement

Maps that cannot enter a file do not help a planner. Capture tools that track opportunities are not a land information system. Portals that do not talk to the map leave applicants and staff on two pictures of the same lot.

GovEarner tracks opportunities and proposals. GovScope is the land and permitting system: staff shell, applicant portal, public feasibility, and planning inquiry on parcel intelligence.

Key Capabilities

Five capabilities for municipal land records: dated lookup, gated permits, cited inquiry, applicant portal, and site intelligence on the parcel.

Dated zoning and parcels

Look up the lot as it stood on a given date.

Parcel geometry and zoning as of a date, so a file cites the by-law that applied then, not whatever is on the wall map today.

Workflow-gated permits

Completeness, circulation, fees, then issue.

A case moves through named steps. Staff cannot skip a gate. Export is a package from the record, not a redraw in another tool.

Cited public inquiry

Answers with clause citations, or an honest refusal.

Public and staff inquiry points at official plan and zoning text. If the library does not support an answer, the system refuses instead of filling the gap.

Applicant portal

Submit, track, and pay against the same case staff see.

Applicants file, upload, and follow conditions in a portal. Staff review the same record. The map on the file is the map on the lot.

Site intelligence

Site Finder and Design Studio sit on the parcel.

Search, zoning, and servicing on the property. Design Studio opens from that property or from a live case, so massing is not a separate product.

Module explorer

Development applications

Intake, completeness checks, workflow, fees, and export. Staff move a file from submission to a decision package without leaving the record.

Contact

Secondary plan

Study area, versioned policy text, public consultation, and adoption. Staff look up the version in force on a given date.

Contact

Committee of Adjustment

Minor variance and consent files: intake, circulation, hearing, and decision recording on the same case.

Contact

Planning inquiry

Public and staff questions with clause citations. If the by-law does not support an answer, the system says so instead of guessing.

Contact

Tent permit

Temporary structure permits with a clearance path across the departments that have to sign before issue.

Contact

Business licensing

Licence intake, conditions, and renewal on the property record so licensing is not a separate silo from planning.

Contact

Site Finder

Property search with zoning as of a date, parcel geometry, and servicing (water, sewer, storm) on the map.

Contact

Design Studio

Opened from a case or a property, not a fake ERP mega-nav. Massing and feasibility sit on the same parcel the permit uses.

Bring a sample permit type, a zoning question, and whether applicants should file in the portal. We will walk the eight modules on generic municipal data.
