Value Proposition

CivCheck accelerates permit approvals by automating complex code and zoning compliance checks, reducing backlog and improving consistency for both applicants and plan reviewers.

Our Goal

To make permitting faster, fairer, and more transparent—empowering public servants with modern tools while making the process simpler for applicants.

Our Values

Built for plan reviewers, by plan reviewers—CivCheck emphasizes ethical AI, human‑centered decision making, and increased equity in urban development. As a women- and minority-founded company, it champions diversity and inclusivity.

Our Process

CivCheck ingests municipal codes and wraps them into interactive AI-guided workflows.
