Who uses GetMyInvoices with City of Chicago
Real Estate
Between building permits, zoning applications, and the next property inspection, owners and project developers constantly receive new fee notices from the City of Chicago portal, often for multiple properties simultaneously. These documents then end up scattered in accounting because no one on the team is primarily responsible for monitoring the portal, and by the end of the month, proof of individual payments is missing. This makes it difficult to correctly assign them to the respective properties and delays the closing process. With automated retrieval, all invoices and fee notices are collected and available by property before the closing work begins.

Trades & Construction
A site manager applies for a permit before construction starts, shortly afterward the invoice for the inspection arrives, and in between there is often another fee for license renewal – across multiple construction sites at the same time, this quickly adds up to a confusing pile of documents. It often falls to accounting to chase project managers to find out which payment belongs to which construction project. If a document is missing at the end of the month, this delays cost allocation to the respective project and complicates calculations. Through automatic capture, all fees and permit invoices from the portal are available promptly and completely for project accounting.

Hospitality & Tourism
The liquor license expires in spring, the health inspection is due in summer, and the permit for restaurant operations must also be renewed regularly – for restaurants, bars, and hotels, this results in several payment deadlines spread throughout the year, each with its own timeline. Management itself is often responsible for this, and alongside daily operations, it's easy to lose track of when which fee was due and whether the document was even archived. If proof of license payment is missing, this becomes problematic during an audit. With automated retrieval, all permit and fee documents from the portal are fully documented and can be found at any time.
