Tolemi is a civic technology company that builds data integration, spatial insights, and workflow automation software for state and local governments. We help you unlock the power of municipal data so your agency can ensure safe, stable housing and build stronger neighborhoods.
From Data to Action
Tolemi’s software platform integrates your siloed data, connects the dots you can’t see, and delivers the insights that drive smarter decisions and more efficient workflows.
Data
Ownership, sales, police & fire, code enforcement, permits, 311 complaints, utilities, business licenses, all connected across every department & agency.
Insights
Owner timelines, linked LLC’s, suspected rentals, vacancy indicators, derived automatically from your data and external sources.
Workflows
End-to-end property registrations, inspections, email and snail mail campaigns, payment collection, asset management, and compliance.
Automation
Internal & external communications, renewal notifications, non-compliance flags, task tracking, performance dashboards—all fully automated.
An Integrated Platform, a Modular Approach
We help state & local governments create, launch, and run effective programs that advance smart housing policies. For some, doing so requires our end-to-end platform. Others utilize specific Tolemi software applications to address key pain points with existing systems. We work with our partners to design the right solution for today’s challenges.
Data-Driven Workflow Automation
Your agency runs on processes. Slate runs them for you.
Slate replaces disconnected spreadsheets and generic case management systems with purpose-built workflows tied directly to parcels, so your team can track every property, task, and deadline in one place. Nothing falls through the cracks.
How governments are using Slate
Long-Term Rental Registration, Licensing, and Inspections
Launch permit or licensing programs quickly with configurable intake forms, payments, and automated renewals.
Short-Term Rental Identification & Registration
Keep STR’s compliant with best-in-class identification along with intake, renewals, fee collection, and compliance workflows in one place.
Asset Management
Streamline workflows for public sector redevelopment agencies through entire property lifecycle: acquisition, maintenance, construction, disposition, and compliance.
Vacant and Foreclosure Registries
Identify suspected vacant properties using proprietary Tolemi insights, then automate noticing, manage registrations, and maintain compliance in a single platform.
Key Features
Automate Workflows
Slate connects directly to parcel-level systems of record to kick off and route workflows based on data like code violations, property sales, and constituent inquiries.
Custom Configuration
Tolemi works with your team to understand the workflows, registries, and data you need, then builds Slate to match, so it's intuitive from day one rather than adapted after the fact.
Performance Management
Delegate tasks, track workflow progress by stage, and view automated reports on your team's output.
Analyze Data
Layer data created in Slate with BuildingBlocks to see how your programs and teams are impacting your community, connecting operational work to citywide spatial analysis.
Map-Based Tracking
Every property and project is geocoded and visualized on a map, so your team sees where work is happening, not just a list of addresses in a spreadsheet.
Registration & Compliance
Run permit, licensing, and registry programs end-to-end, from online application intake and fee collection to renewal tracking, follow-up workflows, and enforcement.
Data Integration and Insights
Your data is already there. BuildingBlocks connects it.
BuildingBlocks brings every property, owner, and department dataset into one map-based interface and delivers your team the answers they need in seconds.

Easy-to-use filters to quickly surface properties that meet specific criteria: vacant, non-compliant, investor-owned, or any combination your work requires.
Research & Link Owners
Comprehensive data on every owner in your municipality with smart linking that identifies related owners across shell LLCs and fragmented portfolios.
Build & Share Reports
Customizable reports and data visualizations, shareable as dashboards that automatically refresh when the underlying data changes.
Set Alerts

Spatial Analysis
Map-based analysis at the parcel, block, neighborhood, and citywide level, so you can see patterns and direct resources where they'll be most impactful.
Property Listing and Transparency Portal
Your community has questions. PubliCity answers them.
Most municipalities and agencies field the same property questions from residents, developers, and buyers over and over. PubliCity broadcasts property information on a user-friendly map and kicks off workflows with digital applications.
How governments are using PubliCity

Publish development projects, redevelopment plans, and major city initiatives to keep your community informed. Status updates, location context, and project details, all in one place.
Customizable Search Filters
Configurable filters help buyers and community members narrow down properties by type, status, location, or any criteria relevant to your programs, so they can find what they're looking for without staff assistance.
Collect Applications & Feedback
Residents and applicants can submit purchase applications, development inquiries, or community feedback directly through PubliCity, routed straight to the right staff member in Slate.
Property Registration
Your property registry empowered by your data
Our differentiation is the data. Using constantly up-to-date records from city and county systems, Tolemi identifies every rental property, including those recently converted from owner-occupied. Your staff can prioritize outreach, identify the worst offenders, and increase registrations.
Owner linking
LLCs, trusts, and shells resolve back to the actual person or organization holding the property. No registering five buildings that pass while quietly skipping the two that don't.
Automate compliance
Long-term rentals, short-term rentals, vacant structures, foreclosures: flagging unregistered properties and compliance outreach are automated.
Risk-based inspections
The worst properties are seen the most, while well-maintained units can self-inspect most years. Inspector time goes where the data says it matters.
