Permit Info

The Problem

Every town is different.
Nobody tells you that.

Small contractors lose hours every week figuring out what the building department wants — and it's different in every single town.

⏱️

Hours wasted on hold

Calling building departments only to get voicemail, wrong info, or "check the website" — which hasn't been updated since 2019.

📋

Incomplete applications

Missing one document means driving back to the office. Doing it twice eats your margin on a small job.

💬

No tool speaks your language

Portuguese and Spanish-speaking contractors have zero resources. They figure it out alone or don't take the job.

🏢

Enterprise tools ignore you

PermitFlow and similar tools are built for large GCs with project managers. They cost $500+/month and assume you have a permit expediter on staff.

How it works

Three steps. Under a minute.

1

Type your question

Ask in plain English — "What permits do I need for a kitchen remodel in Boston?" — or pick a quick-start chip.

2

Get the requirements

PermitAI pulls the exact documents, fees, submission method, and contact info for that town and job type.

3

Submit and track

Use the checklist to prep your application. Add your permit to the tracker and monitor status without calling.

Multilingual Support

Built for Framingham.
Lowell. Taunton.

Large Portuguese and Spanish-speaking contractor communities in these cities have been ignored by every permit tool on the market. Not anymore.
