We (staff who actually uses it) had no say in changing programs. It takes longer to process permits and print the required documents in order to issue a permit. The portal doesn't seem to be very user friendly for contractors in the field.
Pros: Nothing! We had an excellent software program that was so much easier to use and more user friendly for both staff and contractors.
Cons: The mobile app for field inspections is absolute garbage compared to what we had. The system takes us longer now to process a permit with so many added steps. We cannot easily drag and drop electronic documents as we could with our previous program.
Randy G. · Inspector · Government Administration · February 13, 2025
After a few clicks, SmartGov was easy to handle and easy to show others how to use it, as a former City employee this is the system they used for contractors to input their permits
Pros: Its user friendly, If you forget to input something in you cannot proceed which is great.
Cons: Perhaps due to the usage system was constantly loading

Pros: Good for tracking and calling inspections.
Cons: Hard to find permit documents and submittals through the portal.
Leo R. · Project Manager · Construction · January 3, 2024
Pros: Easy to use, fast, efficient, confident in the security
Cons: Time consuming when i am trying to just pay my taxes
Brenda K. · office manager · Construction · January 3, 2024
Pros: It makes for a streamlined permitting process. I can keep track of multiple projects from the dashboard and easily see what needs to be done. Payments and scheduling inspections are easy.
Cons: My main complaint is more to do with the options an AHJ sets in their submittal requirements. I often have to email someone to get a permit pushed through because of "required" documents that do not pertain to our permit.
Kelli S. · Designer - Permit Technician · Construction · December 26, 2023
great site! Love how Easy it is to use and find out how the statuses on your applications.
Pros: I like that it’s easy to use I like that remember my login information and it’s fast.
Cons: It’s really nothing I don’t like about it if I have any other real questions I call San Juan County and they answer them right away.
Jeff P. · Teacher · Education Management · December 21, 2023
I love it, have for a while now. It has substantially simplified our submittal process.
Pros: Once familiar with navigation, the amount of information available on the portal is wonderful, practically eliminates the need for a phone call, saving time and money for our organization.
Cons: I would really love some little helpful hints for navigation on the portal. For first time users, I find that they struggle to properly navigate the site, as a lot of assumptions are implied as to where they need to go to submit certain items.
Eddie G. · Permit Manager · Construction · December 21, 2023
Seems very user friendly. Easy to use and easy access.
Pros: Easy to use and access. Everything is basically easy to find.
Cons: Basically nothing. Seems very user friendly.
Terri N. · Office Manager · Utilities · December 21, 2023
I have used Smart Gov from both sides and have really enjoyed it.
Pros: Smart Gov is by far one of the easiest and most efficient online portals that I have used. I currently submit projects across the state and use several online portals. Smart Gov is hands down the easiest one to navigate.
Cons: Not all the categories are available. I truly really like the Smart Gov program. I would like the option to cancel a permit once it has been started or started by mistake.
Joelle W. · Owner · Environmental Services · December 21, 2023
Overall experience with SmartGov was pleasant and rather self explanatory.
Pros: Ease of use on mobile and desktop devices.
Cons: Locating individual projects was not initially clear
Jerry W. · Owner · Construction · December 20, 2023
Pros: Easy of function, great organization and tracking.
Cons: Contractors need to see pictures in the details.
Beth K. · Building and Zoning Administrative Assistant · Government Administration · December 19, 2023
Pros: As a Draftsman, I use SmartGov weekly to oversee various submittals for building Permits. It is extremely easy and intuitive to use. I really like the File Submittal process and the way it is organized.
Cons: I wish there could be an option to turn off notifications per each Building Permit. Once a project is approved, I am no longer involved in the project, but I get a notification every time an Inspection is requested. The only way for me to no longer receive them is by emailing a Permit tech. It would be nice to be able to Archive each permit so the alerts would stop.
Chris H. · Draftsman · Architecture & Planning · December 18, 2023
Pros: SmartGov is relatively easy to use and navigate. The information is displayed in an easy to read and find manner, and it has the functionality needed for the lifecycle of a permit, once it's been submitted and in review
Cons: The functionality of uploading a permit to SmartGov needs to be improved. Our jurisdiction bridged this with using Camino which is a decent product to walk a person through submitting all the documents that are needed for the submittal, but it's proven to be a cumbersome bridge to SmartGov.
Miriam V. · Owner · Construction · December 18, 2023
Excellent portal for users and ease of use
Pros: It is very user friendly and the customer support is readily available.
Cons: Nothing at this time; it was easy to find on the city website
Tomas V. · General Manager · Construction · December 18, 2023
Pros: Everything is done and uploaded in the same spot
Cons: The inspections we can set up a date but not a time.
erica m. · permitting lead · Building Materials · December 18, 2023
Overall, I see that more and more cities and counties are making the switch to SmartGov, which is great with the program keeping the applicant up to date with any notifications going straight to the E-mail of the applicant so they can respond as quick as possible.
Pros: User Friendly, Very clean work platform with easy directions on how to navigate the program if any questions.
Cons: No negative comments in regard to the platform.
Joseph F. · Permitting and Engineering Department Manager · Construction · December 13, 2023
Excellent, help is just a phone call away
Pros: Easy to schedule inspection, get inspection reports on your computer or cell phone
Cons: On multi contactor projects it's to easy for the general contactor to schedule an inspection without you knowing
Charles H. · Owner · Construction · December 12, 2023
We are experiencing much more transparency with our permits than we would without SmartGov. Documents can readily, be downloaded, printed and shared amongst our group with ease - again, something that would be delayed with no SmartGov.
Pros: Our usage of SmartGov has been limited to permitting, and we've been using the service for several years now. We are an entity made up of almost 20 individuals, any of whom can use SmartGov to apply for, pay for and monitor permits. It is extremely valuable in that anyone can set up an account in order to review all activity, therefore perform additional oversight of permit activity within our group - a critical oversight above and beyond government oversight.
Cons: Since we are a non-profit, some features do not apply to us, but of the ones we utilize, many have been improved over the years we've been using this. Updates to the product seemed slow several years ago, but they seem frequent now, and currently we have no complaints.
Alicia S. · Secretary/Treasurer · Non-Profit Organization Management · July 25, 2023
At first I felt like I would not get the hang of all the different steps you needed to make to complete a report/inspection. Found the more I get into the program it wasn't that complicated.
Pros: Use, once you get the hang of using the features it seems to flow.
Cons: Do not know what if any other apps could be used injunction with Smartgov.
James E. · Codes Enforcement Officer · Government Administration · July 25, 2023
Nothing seems to work well.
Pros: Nothing....screens look good but don't perform.
Cons: Hard to use the drop downs and query pages.
Kevin F. · Security Consultant · Security and Investigations · July 21, 2023
It is fairly easy to use.
Pros: I like that I can see inspection results quickly.
Cons: I can not access sub contractors inspection results.
Robert P. · President · Construction · July 18, 2023
I am submitting plumbing permits for our company. Enjoy ease of use
Pros: enjoy speed of returned completed permits
Cons: There is nothing I dislike about the program.
Hope R. · csr · Food & Beverages · July 18, 2023
Excellent
Pros: Ease of use, customer service, price, implementation.
Cons: I do not have any negative response to this question
Robert M. · Deputy Director · Government Administration · July 18, 2023
If we ever have to switch from smartgov, I will pose a formal protest.
Pros: The way you can manipulate different workflow steps to get a permit put together from initial application to closure.
Cons: Takes a while to really learn how the system works from the back end, but when you figure out how dependent steps in a workflow work, its amazing.
Kora H. · PERMIT SPECIALIST · Government Administration · July 18, 2023
Pros: Ease of use, inspection scheduling, real-time updating.
Cons: I have not found anything to dislike. The product is very helpful & useful
