Permit Adapter · Updated April 2026

Tyler EnerGov Self Service Permit Tracking

Tyler EnerGov Self Service is a municipal permit and licensing portal built by Tyler Technologies and deployed by US cities that have standardized on Tyler's community-development software stack — including the City of Pasadena, CA, whose Permit Center at 175 North Garfield Avenue uses EnerGov for residential, commercial, historic, and ADU permitting.

How EnerGov Works

Tyler EnerGov Self Service installations are typically hosted at agency-branded subdomains, for example mypermits.cityofpasadena.net/EnerGov_Prod/SelfService for the City of Pasadena. The Self Service front-end supports anonymous permit lookup by record number or property address, inspection result browsing, and — for account holders — application submission, fee payment, and inspection scheduling. Several Tyler EnerGov deployments, including Pasadena, sit behind a Cloudflare bot challenge at the public-portal edge, which materially changes how automated monitoring must be implemented (headless-browser-based polling rather than a direct httpx request). Tyler EnerGov permit numbers are agency-configured and typically follow a type-year-sequence format similar to Accela (for example BLD2024-01234).

How SignedOff Monitors EnerGov Permits

Third-party permit monitoring services such as SignedOff are designed to poll Tyler EnerGov Self Service portals on a recurring schedule to detect plan-check transitions, inspection scheduling, and expiration deadlines. For agencies that front EnerGov with a Cloudflare bot challenge (including the City of Pasadena), monitoring requires a headless-browser polling approach rather than a direct HTTP request. SignedOff is currently adding Tyler EnerGov support to the active adapter roster; the first EnerGov jurisdiction (Pasadena) is on the near-term roadmap, and the factual-content city page for Pasadena is already live with a waitlist for live-tracking launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tyler EnerGov Self Service?
Tyler EnerGov Self Service is a municipal permit and licensing portal built by Tyler Technologies. US cities that have standardized on Tyler's community-development software stack use EnerGov Self Service as the public-facing surface for residential, commercial, historic, and ADU permitting, inspection scheduling, and fee payment.
Which cities use Tyler EnerGov?
SignedOff's active EnerGov coverage starts with the City of Pasadena, CA, whose Permit Center runs EnerGov at mypermits.cityofpasadena.net. Additional EnerGov jurisdictions will be added as permit-volume data justifies them.
Does SignedOff currently monitor EnerGov permits?
Live EnerGov tracking is on the near-term adapter roadmap. The factual-content landing page for Pasadena is already published, and a waitlist is open — SignedOff will notify waitlisted users the day live EnerGov monitoring launches.
Why is EnerGov harder to monitor than Accela?
Several Tyler EnerGov deployments — including Pasadena — front the public Self Service portal with a Cloudflare bot challenge, which blocks direct HTTP polling and requires a headless-browser approach instead. This is a higher-overhead adapter to build than a typical Accela Citizen Access instance, which is why SignedOff prioritized the Accela portfolio first.
How will SignedOff monitor EnerGov permits once live?
Planned EnerGov monitoring will poll each agency's public Self Service portal on a recurring schedule to detect plan-check transitions, scheduled inspections, and expiration deadlines, using the same anonymous record-lookup interface available to any public visitor. No agency login or API credential will be required from the permit holder.
How is Tyler EnerGov different from Accela Citizen Access?
Tyler EnerGov and Accela Citizen Access are competing community-development platforms built by different vendors (Tyler Technologies and Accela, Inc. respectively). A given US city uses one or the other, not both. The City of Pasadena runs EnerGov; neighboring South Pasadena runs Accela Citizen Access at aca-prod.accela.com/COSP. The two systems look and behave differently from a monitoring perspective, so separate adapters are required.
