**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**
**Bergenfield Introduces GovPilot: A New Era of Online Convenience for Residents**
*BERGENFIELD, January 1, 2024 — The Borough of Bergenfield is proud to announce the introduction of GovPilot, a cutting-edge online platform that will revolutionize the way residents interact with several Borough departments. Starting January 1st, 2024, residents will have the convenience of submitting online payments for various services through GovPilot, beginning with the Health Department, Building Department, and Fire Prevention.
GovPilot represents a significant step forward in making essential services more accessible and efficient for Bergenfield residents. The initial phase will include the ability to submit online payments for Health Department services such as pet registration, nail and hair salon permits, and daycare services. Additionally, residents can use GovPilot for online payments related to construction permits through the Building Department and services provided by the Fire Prevention Department.
Mayor Arvin Amatorio expressed his enthusiasm for the implementation of GovPilot, stating, "The Borough continues to make strides in innovation, making our departments more accessible and easier for residents to do business. As we roll out this program, we hope to see additional departments come online and be more responsive to the residents of Bergenfield."
This user-friendly platform aims to streamline processes, reduce paperwork, and enhance the overall experience for residents engaging with Borough services. The online payment functionality is just the beginning, as the Borough plans to continue upgrading GovPilot to meet the evolving needs of the community.
Residents are encouraged to check back for updates as more departments are expected to join GovPilot in the future, providing increased convenience and responsiveness to the diverse needs of Bergenfield's population.
