Tyler EnerGov Self Service Permit Portal — Direct Links & Status 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 (residential, commercial, historic, and ADU permits), the City of Pomona, CA, and the City of Simi Valley, CA (whose Customer Self Service portal requires a login for public search). SignedOff monitors 25 EnerGov jurisdictions live across five Southern California counties — Ventura, Riverside, Orange, San Diego, and Los Angeles — including Pasadena, Pomona, and Simi Valley plus recent additions such as Thousand Oaks, Temecula, Carlsbad, Costa Mesa, and Glendale.

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). Other deployments, such as Simi Valley's selfservice.simivalley.org, gate the Self Service UI behind a Tyler ID login while the underlying REST API still answers anonymous record-number lookups. 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

SignedOff monitors Tyler EnerGov Self Service portals for 25 jurisdictions across Ventura, Riverside, Orange, San Diego, and Los Angeles counties 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 uses a headless-browser polling approach rather than a direct HTTP request. No agency login or API credential is required from the permit holder — polling uses the same anonymous record-lookup interface available to any public visitor.

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 does SignedOff monitor EnerGov permits?
SignedOff polls 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 is 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.
