Permitting Software for Small to Mid-Sized Local Governments

Clariti Launch is permitting software built for small to mid-sized governments with high permit volumes. It's faster and easier to set up than comparable systems, and simple to manage once you're live — designed for smaller teams who need to move fast without pulling focus from day-to-day operations.

Not sure if Launch is the right fit? Our permitting software buyer's guide walks through what to look for when evaluating permitting software for a smaller jurisdiction.

Launch pricing is based on population, not user count — so you can add unlimited staff at no extra cost. For an accurate quote, contact our sales team and we'll start with a brief discovery call. If you're still in the early stages of evaluating options, our permit software buyer's guide can help you build the business case and understand what to budget for.

Launch offers managed integrations with Esri®, select electronic plan review vendors, and select payment tools. Many jurisdictions start using Launch as a standalone system first and phase in integrations as needed. If you need full flexibility to connect to any software, Clariti Enterprise may be a better fit.

Most jurisdictions go live within 6 to 12 months. Timeline varies depending on factors like the number of permit and license types you need to configure, the complexity of your workflows, and how well-documented your existing processes are. Clariti's in-house implementation team will work with you to set a realistic timeline from the start and keep things moving at every stage.

Yes. Launch is designed to scale with you — you can add new permit types, workflows, and use cases over time using clicks, without IT support or costly reconfiguration. As your community grows and your processes become more complex, Launch grows with you. And because the platform is continuously updated with new features as part of your subscription, you're always working with current technology.

Yes. The Launch mobile inspection app lets inspectors complete their work in the field on any device, with or without internet coverage. Data syncs automatically when back online, so nothing is lost and staff can continue workflows without interruption.

Community Templates is a shared library of thousands of pre-built permit types, workflows, and rules drawn from real implementations across North America. Instead of building workflows from scratch, you can browse what peer jurisdictions are already using and copy what fits. It's included at no additional cost with every Launch implementation.

Your Launch system is implemented by Clariti's in-house team, who will support you through every step — from kickoff to go-live. We've implemented permitting software for teams like yours across North America and will make sure your go-live is as smooth as possible.

You won't have to figure it out alone. When you partner with Clariti, our team becomes an extension of yours — helping you build requirements, plan for change management, and prepare long before procurement begins. We've also put together a permitting software buyer's guide to help you get started.
