Naples, Florida Leads the State in AI-Driven Plan Review

In a move that underscores its commitment to smart growth and forward-thinking governance, the City of Naples is implementing AI automated plan review technology from Blitz AI, which will integrate with its CityView permitting system to accelerate residential and commercial building plan reviews.

The Blitz AI platform is trained on the Florida Building Code and local ordinances to analyze building plans in minutes, flag noncompliance issues, and generate detailed review reports with red lines on drawings. This allows City staff to focus more on community priorities while giving developers and residents a faster, clearer permitting experience through CityView.

We look forward to realizing better outcomes for developers and residents alike, positioning our city at the forefront of modern municipal governance.”
