Cons Nothing, really. It is a very easy system to use. Review Source BK Barbara K. Permit Tech Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great plan routing system" October 9, 2025 5.0 It is great so far. I've been using it for a couple of years and don't have many complaints. It took a little bit of time to figure out how to make changes if someone made a mistake while uploading. Pros It's pretty easy to use. The plan review website we used to use was a lot more difficult to teach to new employees, but GeoCivix is so simple to teach! I love that you can add documents to the folder if the client forgot to upload it themselves. Cons I don't like that we can't open up projects if a revision comes in. I would like to somehow put revisions on the same page and separate them out to indicate what revision number it is. But it would be nice to connect them in that manner. Review Source SN Shelly N.

October 9, 2025 5.0 Geocivix is user friendly and upload and processing is fast. The information provided to both applicants and users is very well relayed.

Owner Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Smooth experience" October 13, 2025 5.0 Overall, my experience with GeoCivix was excellent.

CFO Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Geocivix Permit Site" October 21, 2025 5.0 Easy to access and follow up with items that need review and subsequently handle appropriate resubmittals speeds up the process. Pros It is very easy to use and has an accessible interface. Tracking multiple submissions is easy and availability to have multiple uses have access it helpful Cons In comparing to other interfaces in other jurisdictions it is superior so hard to find issues with it. Review Source JC Justin C. Owner Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "First Project Completed in GeoCivix" October 9, 2025 5.0 it was fine, I don't know what is cost compared to the FTP, that would really be where the needle moves. If it's a big increase in cost, I would say it's not worth it, but if theres more it can do, then maybe. Otherwise the FTP portal was just fine Pros I suppose it's a little moire attentive, in that you get notifications when plans are received reviewed and completed. It's the same platform that \[sensitive content hidden\] use, and some others I'm sure. I think the challenge for Metro will be getting all the other departments involved. But it's just a different version of the FTP for now Cons I don't see any cons at the moment. Unless cost is a con, if it cost more to run this versus he FTP, then I would stick with the FTP Review Source BB Beth B. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great app for" October 14, 2025 5.0 Positive experience. Like it much better than some other county sites. Easy to learn, easy to complete. Pros Ease of use, customer support. Very simple to use, flows seamlessly. Makes operating my construction business simple. Cons I don't think there is anything I did not like about GeoCivix. It is a great program for my line of work. Review Source MM Monica M. Admin Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Might be in our future!" October 9, 2025 5.0 Worked great for our Culvers construction work and we like something that makes document management easy for our construction workers to understand. Pros The superior customer service and provides a user friendly software that is easy to understand for construction. Cons Right now GeoCivix does not fit out company's current needs. If we grow more in our company we may look into this more. Review Source AK Aayushi K.

The site is clean, well-organized, and supports effective data collection. It’s a great tool for better communication and smarter planning. Overall, documents are well managed and easy to access. Pros I really like the way comment/response section is handled. It is very straight forward and easy. Thank you for not having us submit an entire narrative letter each time! Cons I really appreciate how responsive the website is, but the overall color scheme could use some improvement. Review Source KG Kregg G. User Government Administration Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "GeoCivix A Useful Application for Managing Building Permits " October 9, 2025 4.0 Overall it was easy to use GeoCivix to submit my permit application, upload required documentation (after reading directions), and follow my permitting process through to final inspection. Pros The ability to track progress of my home improvement project from initial request through final inspection. Cons The file upload section was not intuitive, requiring reading of instructions and consultation with local zoning department. Review Source LC Leah C. Communication Specialist Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "GeoCivix easy and intuitive to use" October 9, 2025 5.0 It was an easy experience and the choices were fluid. I liked that I could go back and review previous choices to make sure they were correct. Pros It was easy to use and intuitive. The choices were positioned in a way that made sense, and there weren't too many of them. Cons There aren't any that I can recall. Perhaps updating the look and feel? It seemed a bit dated in the colors and size of the boxes. Review Source MA Mayra A. permit specialist Building Materials Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Permit Specialist GeoCivix VITAL!!"
