Wheat Ridge is stepping into the future with two fresh digital platforms for business operations. The city unveiled GovOS Revenue and OpenGov Permitting to ease the processes for local businesses handling licenses, taxes, and permits. According to the City of Wheat Ridge, these tools are set to boost service efficiency and enhance the overall customer journey.
Gathering momentum for a transition, GovOS Revenue is on the brink of introduction, with promises to simplify business licensing and tax completions. "Allows business owners to renew licenses and remit taxes through an easy-to-use platform," as detailed by the City of Wheat Ridge, noting the impending shutdown of the prior system come February 2025. Furthermore, from January 1, companies will navigate from annual to bi-annual license renewal periods, a notable change worth marking on corporate calendars.
The OpenGov Permitting system, currently live, acts as a comprehensive solution for various permitting needs, including contractor licensing and inspections. For those dealing with active permits issued before the close of 2024, the city directs attention to a specialized Active Permits Page for those documents.
In what constitutes the digital leap, the OpenGov platform allows several actions online. "Submit and track permit applications," "Request inspections and view results," and "Obtain or renew contractor licenses," are among the capabilities highlighted for users. Those keen to get started are guided to visit the OpenGov Permitting portal. Questions regarding tax and licensing can be addressed through an email to [email protected], while permit-related inquiries can be directed to [email protected].
