Development Integrating Accela to Bluebeam to support better
Connecting Bluebeam to Accela Services collaboration and real-time plan review commentary.
Integration is scheduled to go live in April 2026.
A Lean Six Sigma project identified six key opportunities to
improve the easement process focusing on document
accuracy, first-time submittal success, clearer review
timelines, better status visibility, enhanced customer
Easement BPI (Part 2) Development education, and integrating easements into plat review
Services where appropriate. An Easement Taskforce, including
development community partners, meets monthly to guide
and support implementation of these improvements.
Project moved into the Improve Phase in March 2026.
Project completion is expected in June 2026.
Update Interlocal Agreements with 2 The City and Tarrant County continue to work together to
of the 5 adjoining counties covering Development discuss details of the items to be included in the Term
plat regulations in the City of Fort Services, TPW, sheet for the ILA update. Finalization is pending
Worth ETJ and Legal discussions with Development Services leadership and
Tarrant County.
