City budgeting for permitting software; system will integrate with Naviline

Punta Gorda Building Board · August 25, 2026

Summary

The board heard that permitting software costs were included in earlier budgets and implementation work is scheduled for this year; the new permitting system will integrate with the city’s Naviline platform and expand permitting across fire, engineering, zoning and planning.

Staff told the board the permitting software project was funded beginning in fiscal year 2025, carried forward through FY26, and is now budgeted to get started in FY27; annual costs are expected to migrate to the IT budget after implementation. The chosen product is intended to be a permitting-specific system that exchanges data with Naviline so other city departments retain current systems while permitting, fire, engineering, zoning and planning move into the new digital permitting workflow.

"So the budget for the actual software, started in fiscal year 25 and was carried over and added to additional funds in fiscal year 26," finance director Kristen Simeone said. Staff also told the board the permitting product will include a digital plan room and that the vendor integration should make permitting more efficient for applicants and staff.
