Permit discovery, zoning, and fee-estimation tools that simplify the applicant's front-end experience.
Procurery Insight
OpenCounter is less a full permitting system of record and more a specialist in the applicant's front door — permit discovery, zoning lookups, and fee estimation that make it easier for businesses and residents to figure out what they need before they apply. That focus makes it a complement to, rather than a replacement for, a back-office permitting suite. Consider it when the priority is improving the public-facing intake and business-registration experience.
Procurery's independent editorial assessment — written by us, not the vendor. Sponsorship never alters our take.
Illustrative figures, not verified buyer interviews — we're replacing them with data sourced from public award records. This is the hardest-to-copy layer: provenance-tracked and concentrated on the vendors buyers actually shortlist.
| Agency type | Population | Price band | Outcome |
