Permits

Permits are an integral part of public sector billing. A water utility, for example, may have permits for commercial users to add chemicals to their effluent - this is known as industrial or trade waste. Cities have permits for almost everything - one-off permits for the St Patrick's Day Parade; continuous permits for the coffee shop owner to have seating on the pavement. Any software selected for public sector billing should have a permitting module as integral to its functionality.
