CivQuest gives applicants and staff the same live answers on zoning, flood, wetlands, and history, then handles the abutter mailings and the ordinance edits that follow.
The Platform
Atlas up front, Notify and Compass close behind, and a dash of Forge for the heavy lifting.
Applicants self-serve on zoning and site constraints from your own web maps, in plain language, on any device.
Anyone can ask about zoning, overlays, and districts and get the answer on a map, in a table, or in chat.
“What is 412 Main Street zoned, and is it in a historic district?”Parcel Insights pulls FEMA flood zones, USFWS wetlands, USDA soils, historic districts, Census demographics, and elevation for any parcel.
Buffer a parcel, capture every owner inside, and generate merge-field letters, envelopes, and Avery labels straight from the results.
The Legistar integration surfaces rezonings, special use permits, and ordinances tied to the selected parcel, linked to the agenda system.
Boards, staff, and interested residents get scheduled digests scoped to exactly the geography and case types they care about.
Draw a corridor or district, add a buffer, and subscribers only hear about applications inside it.
A weekly digest of new applications with a CSV attachment lands before every meeting, on the org’s timezone.
Comment intake, plan feedback, and data corrections come through structured forms into one triage queue.
A drag-and-drop builder creates comment and application forms with file uploads, each with a shareable public link.
Comments route into a four-state triage flow, and legitimate issues convert to tickets with one click.
When the board adopts a change, Forge drafts the data edits and your staff approves them parcel by parcel or in batch.
Describe the adopted change and the agent stages attribute edits with a diff view for each affected parcel.
“Apply the new commercial district ordinance to the Route 10 corridor.”See a rezoning go from adopted ordinance to staged edits, with the abutter mailing generated along the way.
