Everything your planning team needs

We already have your permit data (open government licence). We're giving it back to you smarter.

Approval-Speed Analytics

Track average approval time by permit type, the metric the Housing Supply Act puts cities on the hook for. Spot bottlenecks before they become council complaints, and show where days are being lost.

Applicant Compliance Tracking

Score application data quality automatically: missing fields, incomplete submissions, and repeat patterns. Generate compliance summaries for your planning team in seconds.

Revenue Forecasting

Project permit fee revenue based on historical volume and value trends. Give your finance team data they can actually use for budgeting.

Cross-City Benchmarking

See how your processing times compare to Calgary, Edmonton, and Toronto. Identify what top-performing cities do differently.

Volume Alerts

Get notified automatically when permit volume drops more than 20% week-over-week. Early warning for economic shifts in your region.

Council-Ready Reports

Generate a PDF proposal pre-filled with your city's real data. One click to a presentation your council can actually understand.

Open Demo Dashboard

Built for Canadian housing reporting

Steller tracks the approval-speed and unit-progress numbers cities report for the Housing Supply Act and the Housing Accelerator Fund, and keeps your account data hosted in Canada.

FOIPPA-Ready
BC Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, governing how BC public bodies handle personal information.
Hosted in Canada
Account data stored and processed on Canadian cloud infrastructure (servers in Toronto).
Housing-target reporting
Approval-speed and unit-progress numbers ready for Housing Supply Act and Housing Accelerator Fund reports.
PIPEDA-aligned
Account data handled in line with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.

Reporting built for the Housing Accelerator Fund era

Cities that took Housing Accelerator Fund money commit to faster permitting and have to report progress to CMHC. BC's Housing Supply Act puts named municipalities on the hook for housing-target numbers too. Steller turns your permit feed into those approval-speed and unit-progress figures on demand. The permit data we analyze is public municipal open data, and your account data is hosted in Canada (servers in Toronto). Built and operated by a Canadian company.

The answers council and the Province ask for, in 60 seconds

Between council meetings, Housing Supply Act progress reports, and Housing Accelerator Fund commitments, planning directors face the same questions on a deadline. Steller has the answers ready before the report is due.

"How long are permits taking?"

Approval time by work type, updated daily. Broken down by category so you can tell council exactly where the backlog is.

"Are we hitting our housing targets?"

Track permits and units against your Housing Supply Act target and HAF commitments: the progress numbers the Province and CMHC now ask you to report.

"How do we compare to other cities?"

Cross-city benchmarking against BC municipalities. Know before council asks.

"What's our permit fee revenue outlook?"

Revenue projection based on current volume and historical trends. Your finance team gets a number they can actually use.

Common questions

Does the price increase as you add more cities?

No. Your subscription covers all cities we add to the platform. More cities = more value at the same price.

Why so much cheaper than Accela or Tyler?

Those run $20,000+/month because they're full permitting systems you'd migrate onto. Steller doesn't replace your permit system, it's the analytics and reporting layer on top, so we price it for any city's budget.

What happens to our data if we cancel?

You get a full export within 48 hours. Your data is permanently deleted 90 days after cancellation.

Do you require a long-term contract?

No. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime. We also offer multi-year agreements at a discount if you prefer budget certainty.

Can multiple staff members use the same account?

Yes. Invite teammates from the Settings page inside your dashboard. Viewers can read all data; admins can manage the account.
