The Property Management module, also known as Permits and Inspections to longtime users of Govern for Windows, is designed to allow for the tracking of all activities regarding the Building, Health, Code Enforcement, Planning and Zoning department applications, as well as the issuance of permits within the organization. This system also allows for multiple departments to track all activities related to a parcel of land, or property records. For each type of permit, you are able to define all required steps to complete the process. Activities can be defined that can query databases in order to apply business rules, schedule automatic inspections, and set up reminders to issue critical messages based on a future date, or function as reminders.

This table-driven, user-definable, system provides for, and improves communication and coordination within and between departments. All new construction, variances or zoning changes that have taken place on properties are stored in the system.
A flexible database structure allows for the recording and retrieval of various land-related data that can differ for each type of permit or decision. Applications for permits and inspections for buildings, including review of the electrical or the plumbing system can be entered into the system. Once the information has been entered, an enquiry of the system will aid in the investigation or issuance of a permit, assignment of inspections, management of workload, or any other activities that are related to a particular property.
