Complete

With a population of 5,200 and more than 2,600 vacation rental properties, the City of Big Bear, California has traditionally been a picturesque vacation destination with peak activity during the winter and summer months. But a year round influx of renters during COVID overburdened municipal staff who relied on a paper process for rental certifications and renewals. They turned to GovPilot to implement a fully digital process, and eliminated paper, saving 24 days worth of man-hour time!
