GavelWatchMunicipal agendas, in plain English
We read the 200-page agenda PDF so you don't have to.
For real estate developers, contractors, and local advocates who need to know what their city council, planning board, or school board is about to decide — before the vote, not after.
A digest that already knows what you're looking for.
Every week — or the same day, if it's urgent — you get one email listing the items that actually touch your work. Not the whole agenda. The four lines of it that matter.
You save keywords and parcel numbers once. We match them against everything on the docket and tell you what's being voted on, when, and why it matters to you.
- Zoning Rezonings, variances, overlay districts, comp plan amendments
- Permits Fee schedules, review timelines, inspection rule changes
- Budget Capital projects, infrastructure line items, bond questions
- Procurement RFPs, bid awards, contract renewals
We do the boring part: reading everything.
City council, county commission, planning and zoning, school board. We pull agendas, packets, and minutes as they're posted, parse the PDFs, and run them against your saved terms.
Adding a new municipality is a config change on our side, not a project on yours. If your city publishes it, we can watch it — and if it doesn't publish reliably, we'll tell you that instead of pretending otherwise.
Right now we're running a small set of pilot cities and adding more as we confirm their feeds hold up. Ask about yours.
Priced like a tool, not an enterprise contract.
Tiered by how many jurisdictions you track and which alert channels you turn on. No seat minimums, no annual commitment, no demo required before anyone will quote you a number.
- Free — one municipality, weekly digest.
- $29/mo — solo. Same-day alerts, multiple boards.
- $99/mo — team. Shared keyword and parcel lists.
- Custom — firms tracking 10+ jurisdictions.
Tell us your city and what you're watching.
We're onboarding early subscribers by hand right now, which means you get to argue with us about what belongs in your digest. Send the jurisdiction you care about and the keywords or parcels you'd want flagged — we'll tell you honestly whether we can cover it yet.
