Camino for Citizens
Bridge the gap between you and your citizens
Camino’s Applicant Guide is the easiest way to start a new project in your community. Our intuitive software simplifies complex regulations for applicants and saves time for your team.
Get started with us
Increase Transparency
An applicant can enter an address and answer a series of questions. Our Guide will list every rule, requirement, and fee that applies to that project. Citizens are given a clear process to follow from day one.
Automatic Zone Checks
Automatically detect whether a project is allowed based on its location. Flag special requirements for flood zones, fire zones, and historical preservation areas.
Customizable Questionnaires
Each applicant gets a questionnaire that is tailored specifically for their project.
I honestly didn’t think the application process was going to be as straightforward as it was. It was so clean. I would submit to San Rafael 100 times if I could! I don't even know how to explain what I've been dealing with with other cities compared to San Rafael.
