The short version

What is CivicGov called now?

CivicGov is now CivicPlus Community Development. CivicPlus renamed it as part of a gradual move to category-style product names that began in 2021.

Community Development is software for local governments. It has five modules: Permitting, Licensing, Code Enforcement, Planning and Zoning, and Fire and Life Safety. Residents and contractors use a community portal to submit applications and follow each step. Inspectors work on mobile tools that keep running offline and sync later, and an integrated GIS tracks permits, violations and property data. CivicPlus also offers CodeComply, an AI-powered plan review tool.

Bottom line: if you searched for CivicGov, the product now lives on as CivicPlus Community Development. Prices are quote only, so request a quote and compare it with other permitting tools.
