Tyler Technologies acquires community development platform MyGov
The IT services provider Tyler Technologies on Friday announced it’s acquired MyGov, a cloud software company that helps municipalities better manage permits, inspections, planning and zoning.
Founded by Stephen Burnsworth, a former city planner, MyGov provides community development and asset management tools for towns, cities and counties across the United States.
The platform provides automated vendor submissions and reviews, as well as tools for code enforcement, citations, hearings and abatements. It also allows developers to track cost and usage for workers, materials and equipment.
The terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed, but according to the announcement, MyGov serves approximately 150 municipalities, mostly in Texas. Tyler Technologies is based in Plano, Texas.
“We are excited to join Tyler and expand the company’s expertise and footprint in the public administration market,” Burnsworth said in a press release. “MyGov’s integrated community development suite will complement the rest of Tyler’s extensive enterprise portfolio, bringing another option to streamline community development and asset management.”
Over the past few years, Tyler has added numerous companies to its arsenal of digital services offerings, including those providing services to recreation departments, law enforcement agencies and educational institutions.
In 2022, Tyler acquired US eDirect, a software provider that specializes in reservations, tickets and fees for outdoor recreational facilities. In 2021, the IT provider went on a buying streak, purchasing Arx, a publisher of police-data software, VendEngine, which made cloud software used in correctional facilities, and ReadySub, software company that helps school districts track teacher absences and schedule substitute instructors.
In 2021, Tyler also acquired NIC Inc., a leading vendor of digital government and electronic payment services with many federal, statewide and local contracts, for $2.3 billion, its largest purchase to date.
