Yuma launches AI-powered program for building permit applications

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - A new program is being introduced to help applicants.

The City of Yuma's Department of Community Development launched Alynea AI PreCheck, an AI tool that reviews permit applications.

Building permit applications will be checked by the AI tool before they're submitted to the City.

Alynea AI PreCheck searches for missing information, inconsistencies and other common errors.

The City of Yuma says this tool will reduce processing times and improve overall quality.

“This pilot helps applicants address common application issues earlier in the process,” said Alyssa Linville, Director of Community Development. “When applications come in more complete, staff can spend less time on corrections and more time on timely, thorough reviews.”

The tool is optional and permits will continue to approved mainly by City staff.
