SECTION I: GENERAL INFORMATION

1. City Background: The City of Holladay was officially incorporated on November 30, 1999. Although a

relatively young city, the community’s rich history dates to 1847 as one Utah’s earliest settlements.

Today, the City’s approximate 8.4 square miles is home to roughly 32,000 residents. The City provides

residents with the processing of construction permitting, land use entitlements and business licensing

applications with associated inspection services. Administrative processes including zoning and land use,

construction, utility, streets, engineering, business licensing, code enforcement, and work orders. All

applications are supported by appropriate spatial mapping using Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

In 2025 the city processed over 1,000 permits, over 400 Code Enforcement Cases and maintained

records for various types of licenses and land use permits. In addition, the City provides an online citizen

portal which establishes efficient interactions with its residents which is enhanced by online tracking as

staff process the resident submission.

As the city passes its 25th year, administrative operations and processes are modernizing. A staff of 34

employees provide current administrative processes by utilizing; permit review, response, and

inspection tracking service, Microsoft Outlook (calendaring), Bluebeam (plan review) and an ESRI suite

of GIS mapping tools. The city now seeks a replacement tracking software suite solution to provide

seamless integration of existing tools to provide an efficient, secure and flexible interface which

supports all current and future administrative requirements while providing comfortable user

experiences. This new software will also provide a log-in based, cloud solution with automated

workflows, integrated communication, applicant notifications, reporting and archiving solutions of

applications at various benchmarks.
