BluePrince isn’t just a game—It’s software that powers municipalities

Written by Admin | Apr 14, 2025 8:47:55 PM

If you’ve recently searched for BluePrince and found video game trailers instead of permitting software, you’re not alone.

A new game titled BluePrince was recently released, generating buzz across entertainment sites and search engines. But while the name might be shared, our BluePrince is something entirely different—and much more practical.

For more than 20 years, BluePrince by CityView has helped municipalities across North America modernize their permitting, planning and code enforcement processes. Our secure, cloud-hosted solution—BluePrince Cloud—is designed specifically for small to mid-sized jurisdictions looking for a flexible, affordable way to manage community development.

What makes BluePrince Cloud stand out

While the name may be trending in pop culture, BluePrince Cloud remains a trusted solution for local governments. Purpose-built for smaller municipalities, it helps modernize and simplify permitting, inspections and planning workflows.

  • Improved productivity: Streamlined workflows and user-friendly tools reduce time spent on repetitive tasks, so staff can focus on serving the community
  • Self-service options: Contractors can submit permit applications, check statuses and make payments online—minimizing office traffic and boosting satisfaction
  • Paperless workflows: Ditch the filing cabinets. BluePrince Cloud enables a smooth transition to digital processes, helping municipalities save time and resources

A case of mistaken identity

The buzz around the video game “BluePrince” even reached us directly—we received a support ticket clearly meant for the game developers. It’s a great reminder that while names might overlap, our BluePrince Cloud is in a category of its own: permitting software trusted by municipalities across North America.

So if you’re looking for software to simplify permitting—not a video game—you’re in the right place.

Real results from real cities

Curious how BluePrince Cloud performs in the real world? Permits Inspector for the City of Conroe, Texas, Clinton Casey, shared how the transition has impacted his team:

“We have already observed improvements in overall accessibility and ease of use, which have streamlined certain processes. Based on our experience thus far, I would certainly recommend BluePrince Cloud to other organizations.”
