About this service

Before you file, spend $297 to know exactly what your project requires. We identify your jurisdiction, determine permit type and review path, check for historic or overlay constraints, and deliver a complete permit requirements brief.

Who this is for

Homeowners, contractors, and investors who need to understand permit requirements before committing to a project scope or budget.

Common questions

What if I discover I do not need a permit?

That is a valid outcome. Knowing your project does not require a permit saves you time and money. The research is useful regardless.

Is this the same as the permit filing package?

No. Permit Research identifies what you need and what it costs. Filing packages actually prepare and submit your application.

Can I upgrade to a filing package after research?

Yes. The $297 research fee is credited against the Full Permit Package ($497) or higher tiers if you proceed.

How specific is the research to my project?

It is specific to your address, jurisdiction, and project scope — not a generic county guide.
