What Buildingeye does

Buildingeye, Inc. is a San Francisco-based GovTech company that operates AgencyCounter Public Service, a native ADA-compliant public records portal for U.S. local government agencies. The product aggregates data from the leading permitting and records systems — Accela, Tyler Technologies, Central Square, and OpenGov — and exposes planning, permitting, code enforcement, fire inspection, short-term rental, public works, and environmental health information through a single multilingual, accessible interface. Rather than replacing existing permitting systems, the platform layers on top of them as the public-facing front door for both agency staff and constituents.

The company's core commercial wedge is the April 26, 2027 DOJ Title II ADA compliance deadline for public records accessibility. It sells to city and county governments primarily through a direct enterprise field-sales motion anchored on free product demos and custom population-based quotes; pricing is transparent at $5,200/year base plus $1,000 per 10,000 residents (e.g., $14,200/year for a city of 85,000). The company claims twelve years of GovTech operating history and "100's of departments served everyday" across the United States, with a headcount disclosed in the 1–10 range and no institutional funding rounds disclosed in the source data.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves3 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• CivicPlus: Provider of civic engagement, website, and ADA-compliance software for local governments; overlaps with Buildingeye on accessibility and public-records exposure, though CivicPlus leans on a broader content/engagement stack.
• OpenGov: Public-sector software vendor with permitting & licensing, financial planning, and civic transparency modules; also a Buildingeye integration partner, meaning it competes at the portal/transparency layer while coexisting on data integration.
• Accela: Permitting and licensing platform with its own citizen access portal product; directly comparable in that Buildingeye syncs Accela data, while Accela's own portal offering competes with AgencyCounter for the public-facing layer.
• Granicus: Large GovTech platform offering experience cloud, websites, forms, and ADA / digital accessibility tools for local and state government — directly overlapping with Buildingeye's compliance and public-records portal offering but across a much broader product portfolio.
• Tyler Technologies: Major provider of permitting, public records, and civic-suite software to local government; Buildingeye integrates with Tyler's permitting platform while Tyler also offers its own citizen access portals — a partner-competitor dynamic.
• CentralSquare Technologies: Public-sector software suite spanning public administration, ERP, and permitting; Buildingeye integrates with Central Square permitting while CentralSquare's own citizen-facing tools compete for the public-records interface.

Emerging players

• SeeClickFix: Civic engagement and 311 platform for residents to report issues and track municipal cases; adjacent transparency / public-records adjacency, though narrower scope than Buildingeye's full permitting portal.
• Municity: Cloud-based permitting and licensing platform aimed at smaller municipalities; competes for the same thin-IT local government buyers with native citizen access and compliance features.
• VertiGIS EnerGov: Permitting, licensing, and citizen-access suite for local government that includes a public-facing portal; narrower market share than Tier 1 incumbents but functionally overlapping with Buildingeye's portal layer.

Direct peers

• Socrata (Tyler Data & Insights): Open data and government transparency portal platform — comparable function (exposing government records to the public in an accessible way), although now under Tyler Technologies.
