Your Permit Department,
without hiring staff.

We handle permits, paperwork, and agency follow-ups from application to approval — so you stay focused on the work. Flat-fee per-project, or a monthly retainer for teams that build all year.

We work across project types and jurisdictions that support online permitting — residential, commercial, mixed-use, and more.

The math is simple.

A single week of permit delay costs you $750–$2,000 in carrying costs alone — before subcontractor rescheduling, schedule compression, or lost momentum. Our fee pays for itself on the first project.

How it works

Simple 4-step
permit concierge.

We act as your off-site permit department from first question to approved permit. One point of contact, clear next steps at every stage.

01
Quick intake

You share address, scope, and timing. We confirm what permits you need and the best path through your city's process — usually within one business day.

02
Prep & submission

We collect required documents from your team, complete all forms, and submit through the right portal or channel. Correctly, the first time.

03
Tracking & corrections

We monitor status, respond to comments, coordinate corrections with your architect/engineer, and resubmit as needed. You hear from us — not the other way around.

04
Approval & handoff

We hand you the approved permit and inspection plan so your project can move without surprises. Documentation filed, nothing loose.

Why The Permit OS

Not your average
permit service.

Most permit help is transactional, slow, and assigned to whoever's free. We're built differently — from the model up.

One dedicated contact

You talk to the same person start to finish. No tickets, no queues, no getting passed around.

vs. junior staff at big firms
Flat fee, quoted upfront

You know the exact cost before we start. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices when corrections take longer.

vs. hourly billing surprises
We own the outcome

If corrections come back, we handle them — included. You don't pay more because the city pushed back.

vs. per-round correction fees
Built for builders, not bureaucracies

We're purpose-built for builders and developers — not enterprise retail chains or mega-firms. Your project gets real attention.

vs. commercial-first nationals
Proactive status updates

We update you every 48 hours whether or not anything has changed. You never wonder where your permit is.

vs. "call us to check status"
Built to scale with you

Start per-project. Graduate to a retainer. We grow alongside your pipeline — not the other way around.

vs. one-size-fits-all contracts

From the field

I'd been chasing the permit office for almost three weeks with no real answers. The Permit OS took over, sorted out two correction issues I didn't even know existed, and got us approved in under two weeks. Worth every dollar.

We used to build four weeks of permit time into every project schedule. With The Permit OS it's closer to two. That might not sound dramatic, but across eight builds a year it completely changed how we plan and bid jobs.

Seven projects this year and permit delays haven't cost me a single day of schedule. I send them the address and project scope, they handle everything else. The status updates alone — proactive, clear, no chasing — are worth the fee.
