Where available, the research can point you toward relevant municipal rules, code provisions or source information.

Research is centered around the project and property information you provide rather than giving you only generic permit information.

Permit research can feel confusing because every property and municipality can have different requirements.
Instead of asking you to trust a marketing page, we put a sample report in front of you. Review it yourself. Look at the organization, explanations and level of detail. Then decide whether the service is useful for your project.

Clear expectations matter.
Permitrust is an independent permit research service . We are not a city, county, building department or government agency.
A report is intended to help you research and understand potential requirements. It is not a permit, permit application, legal opinion or guarantee that a project will be approved.
Because local requirements can change, you should confirm important requirements with the applicable municipality or other authority before construction.
Bottom line: Permitrust is designed to help you understand the research and plan your next step—not replace the authority that makes the final decision.
The process is designed to give you a clearer starting point before you spend time dealing with local permitting requirements.
