OpenGov Record API

A Record represents a single permit or license application, code enforcement case, or business process in OpenGov Permitting & Licensing. Records are created in the Employee Portal and/or Citizen Portal and serve as the central container for all related information. This includes form data, workflows, inspections, fees, approvals, public contacts (such as applicants and guests), and associated locations.
