Frequently Asked Questions
What is GovTracks?
GovTracks is a business continuity platform for county government. Each Track is built around the work a department already does — licensing, Fiscal Court, roads, animal services, HR, fire, accounts payable, facilities, and planning and zoning — so the record stays when people change.
Do we have to replace every system at once?
No. Counties typically start with the department that feels the most paper, counter traffic, or institutional-knowledge risk, then add Tracks as they are ready. Import does not lock you into a single big-bang cutover.
How do online payments work?
Where a process has a fee — licenses, adoptions, reservations, permits — GovTracks can take integrated card or ACH payments and attach the receipt to the same record as the application.
Is this built for county security and compliance?
Yes. Role-based access, durable digital records, and government-oriented hosting options (including department-hosted FireTracks) are part of the product family. A demo walks through how that maps to your county.
How do we request a demo?
