Never let a development approval lapse by operation of law again.
Civic Mesa Planning & Development Review is a complete review system your office can run on its own: subdivision, plat, and site applications move through a defined pipeline from intake to recording, and a built-in statutory shot-clock counts down every decision deadline so nothing auto-approves out from under you. Planners work a live, at-risk dashboard instead of a wall calendar, and the whole backlog stays visible and defensible. Acquire it by itself — or turn it on beside the rest of the Civic Mesa suite. Either way, it's built to be the best product in its category.
Never miss a statutory decision deadline again.
Run your subdivision, plat, and development review as tracked projects, each moving through a defined pipeline from intake to recording. A built-in statutory shot-clock counts down every decision deadline, so approvals never lapse by operation of law and the backlog stays visible and defensible.
- Statutory shot-clock
Completeness, decision, and resubmittal clocks show days remaining and flag imminent auto-approval.
- At-risk dashboard
Active projects, at-risk and auto-approval risk, decisions YTD, and average review days at a glance.
- Guided review pipeline
Received → Conditions Set → Dept review → Governing Body → Decided → Recorded → Closed.
- Templates & custom workflows
Seed milestones and conditions from a template, or define your own stage pipelines with day targets.
- Conditions that lock
Each condition cites a code or statute, and the list locks permanently once the decision is recorded.
- Month calendar
Deadlines, hearings, milestones, and task due dates plotted across all active projects.
Every deadline, condition, and stage on one defensible file.
Open a project and the clock is right there — days remaining before completeness, decision, and resubmittal deadlines, with imminent auto-approvals flagged before they happen. Conditions cite the code they enforce, and once the decision is recorded the list locks for the record.
- The shot-clock on the project. Completeness, decision, and resubmittal clocks count down in plain sight, flagging any deadline about to trip auto-approval.
- A guided pipeline. Received → Conditions Set → Dept review → Governing Body → Decided → Recorded → Closed — every stage stamped so the backlog is never a mystery.
- Conditions that lock. Each condition cites a code or statute, and the list locks permanently once the decision is recorded — a file that holds up on appeal.
Right-sized for any local government — not just big counties.
Planning & Development Review scales from a single reviewer approving a handful of plats a year to a metro planning office running dozens of projects at once. Whatever your volume, the statutory clock is the same, and every deadline is watched for you.
Counties
Track subdivision, plat, and site review across unincorporated land, coordinate department reviews and governing-body hearings, and hand the clerk a recorded, defensible decision on every project.
Cities & towns
Run planning-commission and council review with a shot-clock that keeps growth moving — and an at-risk dashboard that shows leadership exactly where the backlog sits.
Villages & small municipalities
A part-time planner gets a real review system instead of a wall calendar — no IT department required, and every reviewer is included in the price.
Special districts & authorities
Planning, redevelopment, and community-improvement authorities run their own review pipelines with the same statutory clocks and locking conditions.
A full product today. A platform when you're ready.
Buy Planning & Development Review by itself and run your whole review process on it. Add another Civic Mesa product later and it clicks in under the same umbrella — the same property, people, and map — with no migration and nothing re-keyed.
Add Permitting & Licensing
A recorded plat flows straight into permits on the same property, so building applications arrive with the review history and conditions already in front of staff.
Add Code Enforcement
When a condition of approval is violated, staff turn it into a code case — with citations, court, and liens on the same property record, without re-keying the file.
Add Reporting & Analytics
Decisions YTD, average review days, and at-risk projects roll into cross-module dashboards, so leadership reads one set of numbers everyone trusts.
