Case Study: City of Fruita achieves faster, paperless permitting with Cloudpermit

Aligning Building Permits and Plan Reviews with Local Values

The City of Fruita, Colorado needed more autonomy as it brought community development in-house, moving away from Mesa County’s paper-based building permit process. To support its shift to in-house permitting, plan reviews, planning & zoning, and code enforcement, Fruita chose Cloudpermit’s cloud-based permitting software.

With Cloudpermit, the City of Fruita streamlined online permit applications, improved document management, and enabled applicants to complete more of the process remotely or with in-person kiosk support. The city says it has issued over 500 permits online and reduced issuance times from weeks to days, while also saving significant paper and improving customer service and communication with residents.
