Mobile inspection software for environmental health, food, housing, building, fire, and code enforcement.

GovOwl provides inspection software for environmental health, food safety, housing, building, fire prevention, and code enforcement programs. Inspectors work on tablets in the field, and results sync to a cloud system that office staff and supervisors can see in real time. The software replaces paper forms and manual workflows with a clean, consistent inspection process.

Environmental Health & Food Inspections

GovOwl supports environmental health and food inspection workflows used by public health teams in cities and counties. Your existing inspection forms are converted into clear, touch-friendly checklists that inspectors can complete on-site.

Inspectors can record:

  • violations and grades
  • notes and comments
  • photos tied to specific checklist items
  • signatures and final results
All information is stored in a single inspection record, giving staff and supervisors a complete history for each facility.

Housing, Building, Fire, and Code Enforcement

Beyond environmental health and food safety, GovOwl inspection software supports broader government inspection programs, including:

  • housing and rental inspections
  • building and construction inspections
  • fire prevention and life-safety inspections
  • property and nuisance code enforcement inspections
These programs follow similar inspection patterns—locations, checklists, photos, results, and follow-ups—and GovOwl provides a consistent workflow across all of them. Each program maintains its own forms, requirements, and reporting.

Built for Field Use

Inspectors access assigned inspections by facility, permit, case, or route. They can work online or offline on iPads or other common tablets, and data syncs automatically when a connection is available. GovOwl keeps field and office teams aligned by updating inspections in real time, reducing communication gaps and improving turnaround times.

Connected to Permits, Licenses, and Cases

Inspections link directly to the records they belong to—permits, licenses, complaints, cases, or building reviews. Staff can view history, status, notes, and attachments in one place without switching systems.
