Jurisdiction-Smart Forms

Describe your project once. Permitly selects the exact forms your city requires — no more hunting through 40-page city websites.

Pre-Submission Error Check

Catches the 12 most common rejection triggers before you submit. Missing license numbers, wrong zoning codes, unsigned fields — all flagged automatically.

Status Tracking

Know where every permit stands. Automatic alerts when status changes, inspection scheduling reminders, and expiration warnings — all in one dashboard.

Multi-Project Dashboard

Track 10 permits at once. See which jobs are held up at the city, which inspections are scheduled, and which permits are expiring soon.

Inspection Prep

Know what the inspector will check before they arrive. Permitly generates a site-specific checklist based on your permit type and city's inspection criteria.
