Could you build this?
Partial The UI, intake forms, and LLM-assisted document parsing can be vibe-coded, but deploying as a compliant system of record across municipal governments requires navigating complex local government IT standards, CJIS/records retention laws, and legacy municipal ERP integrations.
What it would actually take: Building a functional version requires a secure document processing pipeline (Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL) coupled with an LLM workflow (LangGraph or temporal-backed workers) to extract criteria from municipal codes and validate permit submissions. The difficult engineering lies in bidirectional synchronization with legacy municipal systems (like Tyler Technologies or Accela) and meeting strict public records archiving/auditing requirements. It requires deep municipal domain expertise, security compliance (SOC 2, FedRAMP/StateRAMP), and custom connectors for disparate local GIS and zoning databases.
