Esri ArcGIS Integration for Local Government
ArcGIS integration that links inspections, permits, and cases to accurate parcel and GIS data
GovOwl integrates with your city or county’s ArcGIS data so inspections, permits, licenses, and code cases all reference the correct parcel and address. Staff work with GIS-verified information without extra lookup tools or duplicate systems. When helpful, GovOwl can also display Google Maps for quick street-level context or routing, while ArcGIS remains the authoritative source for parcel and location data.
Core Capabilities
- Parcel Validation — GovOwl uses your ArcGIS parcels to match inspections, permits, and cases to the correct property record.
- Address Standardization — Addresses align with GIS data so departments operate from consistent, verified information.
- Simple Mapping When Needed — ArcGIS provides parcel accuracy, with optional Google Maps for lightweight visual reference.
- Cross-Department Alignment — Environmental health, code enforcement, building, and fire teams all reference the same GIS-backed parcel history.
- History by Location — Inspections, permits, violations, and notes remain tied to the same property, giving agencies long-term clarity.
Why It Matters
Accurate, GIS-aligned data reduces duplicate property records, speeds up field verification, and improves reporting across all departments. Teams spend less time correcting addresses and more time completing actual work. IT benefits from cleaner, normalized location data connected directly to operational workflows.
Designed for How Government Already Works
GovOwl uses the ArcGIS layers your agency already maintains — no new mapping system to learn and no new databases to manage. Inspectors, officers, and office staff get accurate, consistent location information connected to their permitting, inspection, and case workflows, with optional Google Maps support when additional context helps.
