Back office for permits & code compliance

Permit paperwork tracked to the issued stamp

Paperwork and authority-facing service — not field work and not legal counsel — preparing permit application packets, submitting them to the authority having jurisdiction, tracking plan review, answering correction notices, coordinating fees, and closing out open, expired, and after-the-fact permits.

Configured for Permits & Code Compliance

Not generic software. Your trade's operating system.

The permits pack covers application drafting and submission, plan-review tracking, correction responses, fee coordination, inspection scheduling, and closeout to a closed permit record.

TP-01

AHJ-by-AHJ filing discipline

The correct authority and submittal path are identified per project — building, trade, zoning, fire, sewer — and every status change is screenshotted with timestamps from the AHJ portal.

TP-02

Two-eyes review gate

No submission goes out without a second-eyes check against the jurisdiction's current checklist — jurisdictions change requirements without notice, and incomplete first submittals are tracked as defects.

TP-03

Correction-notice turnaround

Reviewer correction notices never sit past their due date — each comment is logged with its response and resubmittal date in the job timeline.

Your workflow pack

Every phase configured before you log in.

Your back office ships with these phases built for Permits & Code Compliance — tasks, checklists, and QA gates included.

Phase 1

Intake & Scheduling

Captures project address, jurisdiction, scope, whether work has started, and any violation notices with their enforcement deadlines — deadlines are the true urgency.

Phase 2

Quote & Approval

Flat service fee by permit package complexity with AHJ fees as pass-through at cost; firm quotes only after the document intake and scoping.

Phase 3

Permit Applications

Permits scoped, the correct AHJ and submittal path identified, the application packet drafted and submitted, and plan review tracked on a set cadence.

Phase 4

Compliance Closeout

Permit history audited for open and expired permits, after-the-fact packages assembled, and inspections coordinated until the permit shows closed.

Phase 5

QA & Closeout

Completion checklist runs from intake documents received to permit closed in the AHJ system — each step dated and initialed, closeout packet delivered.

Phase 6

Invoicing & Review

Service fee on engagement or at milestones — submission, issuance, closeout — with permit fees passed through with receipts.

Quoting, our way: Firm quotes come after scoping and document intake, never from a blind inquiry — fees depend on the jurisdiction's checklist and fee schedule, which vary by project and AHJ.

How a job flows

From first call to paid invoice.

Step 1

Scoping consultation

The customer requests a free scoping consultation with project address, type, and whether work is underway — and gets a clear yes or no on whether the service can help.

Step 2

Document intake

The customer uploads property and project documents against a simple intake checklist and gets confirmation each piece was received.

Step 3

Engagement with scope sign-off

A service agreement is signed naming exactly which permits and jurisdictions are covered, the fee, and permit-fee pass-through.

Step 4

Active tracking

Status pings at every change — submitted, under plan review, corrections requested, resubmitted, ready to issue — without the customer calling the building department.

Step 5

Corrections and resubmittal

Reviewer corrections are translated into action items with clear asks of the customer; the resubmittal is prepared and filed by the service.

Step 6

Inspection and closeout

Inspections are scheduled with access requirements communicated; the customer receives the issued permit, approved plans, and closed-permit confirmation.

Proof on every job

Evidence your customers can see.

Every Permits & Code Compliance job carries photo and documentation standards — dispute prevention built into the workflow.

✓ Before/after — 'before' is the violation letter or open-permit listing; 'after' is the issued permit or closed-permit confirmation from the AHJ system.
✓ Screenshot of every AHJ portal status change with timestamps.
✓ Written engagement agreement listing exactly which permits and jurisdictions are covered, the service fee, and pass-through AHJ fees — signed before any filing.

Our boundary, stated plainly: This is authority-facing document workflow, not legal advice — only the AHJ's own written record, like a closed permit or issued certificate of occupancy, establishes legal status; we report statuses and never promise outcomes.
