Founded Maynooth, Ontario

Small town.
Big infrastructure.

Smallburg builds the municipal services infrastructure that rural Ontario has never had — software that connects local inspectors, adjusters, planners, lenders, and communities around the data that matters most: what's on the land, and what's in the buildings.

Municipal infrastructure,
finally in software.

Small municipalities have always needed the same things big cities have — asset inspection records, land use history, claims dispatch, workforce credentialing, property compliance data. They just never had the density to justify a city hall that does all of it.

Smallburg is that city hall. A suite of connected applications built on two core datasets — what's in the building, and what the land allows — speaking to each other through a single shared key: the civic address.

Core dataset
TapLog
NFC-based asset inspection for regulated trades. Fire safety, fall protection, confined space. The built environment, documented.
Core dataset
Parcel
Land record digitization. Zoning, variances, easements, environmental constraints. The land beneath the building, documented.
Application
Farpost
Insurance claims dispatch for rural Ontario. Connects adjusters with verified local contractors. Pre-loss TapLog records surface on every claim.
Application
Permit
Construction draw management. Compliance verification before funds release. Coming soon.
Application
Ledger
Property compliance history for real estate transactions. Full TapLog and Parcel record at time of sale. Coming soon.
Application
Signal
Portfolio risk scoring for commercial property insurers. Compliance trends, deficiency clustering, pre-renewal risk pricing. Coming soon.

One engine.
Every application.

Every Smallburg application runs on the same four-step engine. A trigger event occurs. Records are matched to an address. The right information surfaces for the professional who needs to make a decision. The decision becomes a record that feeds the next application downstream.

I
Ingest
Consume verified records keyed by civic address
M
Match
Trigger event → look up all records for that address
S
Surface
Present records in context of the decision to be made
A
Act
Better decision → new record → feeds the next application

The platform
pays its own community.

Smallburg isn't just sold to municipalities. It's designed so that the municipality pays for the platform, and the platform creates work for the people who live there.

Retired planners. Local tradespeople. Young people who would otherwise leave. People who know the community and have had no economic vehicle for that knowledge — until now.

The Commons

The Commons is Smallburg's knowledge work marketplace. Municipalities post work — digitizing variance applications, capturing inspection records, maintaining dataset currency. Local workers claim that work, complete it, and get paid. The data they produce makes the platform more valuable for everyone.

Your workspace
is already waiting.

Every municipality in the Smallburg network has a pre-built workspace. The community profile is already populated. The compliance baseline is ready to be started. All it takes is someone with a municipal email address or local postal code to claim it.

Building something
that should exist.

Smallburg is early. TapLog is live. Farpost is live. The integration between them is running. The rest is being built — carefully, in sequence, from the ground up.

If you're a municipality, an insurer, a lender, or someone who knows what it means to try to build something in a small town — we'd like to hear from you.
