McLeod County Permit Application
Business Challenge
 |
 |
To design a web-based system to replace the current system used to create & issue, manage and track zoning and construction permits
|
 |
The solution must streamline or automate some of the existing processes, resulting in less work for county staff

A requirement was fast and responsive searching of information and a centralized, web-accessible database. Internal and external users required access to current, up-to-the-minute zoning and permit application status information.
