Clariti, a leading provider of community development solutions for local governments, has been named as a GovTech 100 Company for 2026. This marks the company’s fifth consecutive year receiving this recognition, coinciding with a period of increased solution adoption across jurisdictions of all sizes.
Strengthening Staff Capacity and Permitting Transparency
As building and planning departments face high permit volumes alongside persistent staffing constraints, the demand for predictable timelines and increased transparency has intensified. Clariti’s recent growth is driven by a focus on time-to-value, with new customers reaching "go-live" status 11% faster on average year-over-year.
Over the last 13 months, more than 22 government agencies have transitioned to Clariti. These include:
- Syracuse, NY
- Cambridge, ON
- Palm Desert, CA
- Melissa, TX
Currently, more than 36 million constituents across North America have access to Clariti’s permitting solutions.
Improving Service Levels and Turnaround Times
Recent implementations have yielded significant reductions in processing times, allowing departments to manage workloads more efficiently without increasing headcount:
- Albany, New York: Improved planning and zoning turnaround times by more than 60%.
- Doña Ana County, New Mexico: Reduced commercial permit processing times by 50%.
- Lakewood, Washington: Reduced general permit processing times by 22%
“These results reflect how we work with governments,” said Clariti Co-CEO Cyrus Symoom. “We’re hyper-focused on long-term partnerships and delivering outcomes that agencies can measure and rely on over time”
Standardized Implementation to Minimize Operational Disruption
To mitigate the risks and delays often associated with "from-scratch" software implementations, Clariti utilizes established system configurations designed around standard community development workflows. By building on setups already proven in other jurisdictions, agencies can reduce implementation effort and move from deployment to measurable impact within months. This approach ensures staff can remain focused on daily operations while modernizing their digital infrastructure.
