New exclusive member benefit comes online

The Institute for Building Technology and Safety, or IBTS, is offering NACo-member counties the opportunity to bring their permitting process online.  GOVmotus is a cloud-based system, accessed by logging into the GOVmotus website.

The system manages, automates and tracks community development processes.  With it, all permitting applications are online, including plan review, inspection scheduling and reporting, and Certificate of Occupancy issuance.  Any information generated by GOVmotus is backed up by IBTS and available at any time to the subscribing county. 

All NACo member counties are eligible for the GOVmotus Bronze package at no cost or can receive a discount on Silver, Gold or Platinum packages.  Counties that choose to take advantage of this online program will sign a subscription agreement with IBTS.  While the online software is given to the county at no charge, a $7.50 fee is charged to the applicant for each permit that is filed and is remitted to IBTS.

“NACo is pleased to partner with IBTS to bring this solution to our members and we believe that the Bronze level GOVmotus package, which is offered at no charge, will be valuable to smaller counties who may not be able to afford this kind of online software package,” said Linda Langston, NACo strategic relations director

Counties wishing for more licenses and more services such as floodplain tracking, document and report management, contractor list management and portals for contractors to track their projects can contract with IBTS for their Silver, Gold and Platinum programs at a discount, she added.
