To help first-time permit applicants and homeowners navigate the
residential permitting process, the City of Tampa has implemented
Clariti’s Camino Guide to use alongside its permit system. The
city’s guide, named Permit Navigator (PermitNav for short),
simplifies the permitting pre-application process to help customers
quickly identify what permits they need for their project, and the
necessary steps to submit their application correctly.
“The average homeowner doesn’t understand the permitting process
and it can be quite confusing,” said JC Hudgison, Chief Building
Official/Construction Services Manager for the City of Tampa. “We
have had residents spend hours applying for a commercial permit
when what they really needed was a residential one. With the Camino
Guide, applicants can now navigate the application process in a
much faster, easy-to-understand way, ensuring they apply for the
right permit.”
In addition to simplifying the process for residents, the Camino
Guide helps ensure applicants get their submissions right the first
time without assistance from city staff. It uses GIS to ensure
instructions given for a project account for all location-specific
zoning rules and regulations so that nothing is missed. Residents
will have a clear understanding of what is needed so staff can
spend less time answering questions and more time on reviews and
approvals.
Since 2020, Tampa has seen a steady increase in the number of
residential permit applications. The city processes approximately
26,000 permits annually and expects the volume of submissions to
increase.
“Like most progressive cities, Tampa was looking for a
technology solution to help make permitting services easy and
straightforward for homeowners,” said Cyrus Symoom, Co-CEO of
Clariti. “We’re thrilled that the city chose the Guide as its
solution of choice, joining so many other local jurisdictions with
the same goals of simplifying the permitting experience for
customers and staff.”
Tampa is located along Florida’s Gulf Coast and offers a
multi-cultural, diverse business center with sustainable
communities for its nearly 400,000 residents. PermitNav is
currently available at tampa.gov/permitnav.
