Board of Health

The Board of Health module tracks inspections and applications to health related construction permits (i.e. demolition, septic system construction) and commercial permits (i.e. tanning salon, dairy), and tracks septic and other waste management systems.

With the Board of Health module you can:

• Create custom permit types for health construction and commercial permits
• Maintain permit records from initial application to final ‘sign off’
• Conduct and maintain permit inspections
• Record permit inspections in the office and on the road
• Record activity for septic systems, including the number of times it has been pumped, and whether it is considered a ‘failed’ system based on criteria selected
• Print permits either to standard module documents or department created custom documents

Once the permit and septic system records are created, activity is tracked using specialized Board of Health module features including:

• Checklists that can be created and customized to each permit inspection type tracked in this module
• Task specific wizard screens and drop down lists that help you enter information quickly and accurately
• Automatic warning flags that display when specific conditions are present such as unpaid tax liens, fees and permits that are still open
• A commercial permit batch renewal mechanism that allows users to generate letters and labels simultaneously for commercial permits that are about to expire
• Failed-Failing Septic System Listing screen that conveniently displays system records that require careful attention

The information maintained by the Board of Health Permits module can easily be accessed and reported in a variety of ways including:

• Screens that display summary or detailed information as needed
• Permits generated for each commercial or permit type created
• Summary and detail printed reports generated based on criteria selected
• GIS map displays of the parcel and abutters to the parcel of the permit or septic system record
