Canadian municipalities deserve technology built for their needs. That's why hundreds of communities and counties across the country have chosen Cloudpermit's software for community development and public works, giving them the modern digital tools, AI, and integrations they need to meet today's challenges.
Municipalities are facing growing pressures, including:
- Lean staffing and limited resources
- Growing expectations for online services
- Increasing development and infrastructure demands
- Modernizing without creating additional complexity
Technology needs to fit Canadian municipal processes, not force municipalities into generic workflows that hold them back.
Cloudpermit combines years of experience working with local governments across the country and the latest technology to deliver software that boosts efficiency and improves community development, public works, and asset management.
Our Deep Experience With Canadian Local Governments
Cloudpermit has worked with Canadian municipalities for years, and we're proud to serve hundreds of local governments, from small communities with lean teams to larger, growing cities.
Our team of experts understands that Canadian municipalities have distinct processes, terminology, regulations, and expectations, and we work directly with our customers to ensure our software provides them exactly what they need.
Because Cloudpermit's software can be configured to meet local needs and requirements, municipalities can work the way they need rather than be pushed to adopt a generic process that doesn't suit them.
Hundreds of local governments across the country can follow their own workflows and processes thanks to Cloudpermit's configurable design.
One Platform for More of the Municipality
For more than 15 years, Cloudpermit has worked to achieve one important mission: Helping municipalities improve and modernize their operations with software purpose-built to address their challenges and needs.
While the company started with building permitting software, our platform has grown to help local government partners optimize more of their work across departments.
Cloudpermit offers modern software for planning, licensing, by-law enforcement, inspections, public works, work orders, and asset management that connects multiple departments and brings entire municipalities together on one shared platform.
Different departments often work with the same properties, residents, contractors, applications, infrastructure, and records.
By sharing access to a centralized, up-to-date platform, departmental silos can be replaced with better access to information and unified decisions about the future of the municipality.
Enhanced collaboration through Cloudpermit's unified platform has transformed processes in the City of Brantford, Ontario.
It definitely has really changed how we do business, including even how we communicate with each other and how we share information,” said Jeff Medeiros, Brantford's Manager of Development Planning. “I can see building permit information now. I never had the ability to do that before, and vice versa with the building department.”
Features Built Specifically for Canada
Canada's municipalities have unique needs and challenges, so Cloudpermit offers purpose-built software designed for local governments in the Great White North.
Inspection AI, an AI-powered inspection tool for municipalities, uses artificial intelligence to quickly comb through Ontario, British Columbia, or National Building Codes to find relevant building code requirements and add citations in just a few clicks.
Inspectors can easily choose a part of the code to search or let the AI feature suggest options, generating recommended codes to add to reports.
This unique feature lets staff look up codes instantly in Cloudpermit, rather than combing through a binder or PDF to find the right section.
Together, these tools make work more efficient with smarter technology designed for Canada.
Modern Tools Built Around Municipal Workflows
Cloudpermit continues to evolve as technology and municipal needs change, but its core goals remain the same as they were years ago: to offer local governments the configurable workflows, mobile field capabilities, and online citizen services they need to improve and modernize their work.
Our platform also offers the latest features that municipalities need to work more efficiently, including an integration with Bluebeam, DigEplan, and other best-in-class plan review tools.
We can easily mark up drawings and we can send drawings back and forth,” said Ryan Arcand, Chief Building Official for Prince Edward County, Ontario. “It's definitely increased our efficiency and our ability to review permits quicker.”
Property data management and location intelligence are built into our system, giving local governments better tools to manage, update, and consolidate information into one accurate database.
With an AI-powered support assistant built into our platform and an Express Issuance feature that moves eligible application types directly to issuance when manual reviews aren't required, staff can work smarter and free up more time to focus on what matters.
Connected to Canada's Municipal Community
Cloudpermit is a partner to Canada's municipal community, not just a software company.
We're proud of our many partnerships across the country, including the Ontario Building Officials Association, Local Authority Services, and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, that help us understand how Canadian local government is changing.
Our team works as a long-term municipal technology partner for the local governments we serve, from hands-on implementation and initial training to ongoing customer support and product improvements that turn feedback and suggestions into the latest features.
In May 2026, Cloudpermit brought together staff from 11 municipalities across Ontario for a collaborative discussion about how to optimize our software for building departments.
It's nice that we have something like this to attend and learn from,” said Nancy Laythorpe, Deputy Chief Building Official for the Town of The Blue Mountains.
At Cloudpermit, we aim to match the trust of the municipalities we serve with continuous service and innovation that ensure our platform provides the best software for local governments long after implementation is complete.
