Start with the renewal record
Create one database for permits, licenses, inspections, certificates, and recurring renewals. Each record should include the item name, category, owner, status, due date, renewal frequency, document link, and next follow-up.
Use status instead of memory
- Upcoming
- Needs document
- Submitted
- Waiting on response
- Approved
- Expired or at risk
This makes it easier to scan what needs attention before a deadline becomes urgent.
Add a weekly review view
A weekly compliance review should show anything due soon, missing documents, open follow-ups, and high-risk items. The goal is not to build a complicated system. The goal is to stop important compliance work from hiding.
