Licensing

EDEN Licensing tracks and supports the process for individual and business licenses.

Parcel Manager

EDEN Parcel Manager maintains a comprehensive database of property information that serves as the foundation for all EDEN Citizen Services applications. Parcel Manager tracks parcel and property attributes, and stores information on buildings and businesses.
