Permit Intelligence for Builders
Structured permit data so you can build with confidence.
Our Mission
PermitMagic helps builders, contractors, and homeowners understand permit requirements faster. We believe that navigating the permitting process should not require hours of research across fragmented government websites. Our goal is to make permit intelligence accessible, accurate, and actionable.
The Problem
Permit requirements are fragmented across thousands of city and county websites. Each jurisdiction has different forms, fee structures, inspection processes, and timelines. Contractors waste hours searching for the right information, and mistakes lead to costly delays, rejected applications, and failed inspections.
The Solution
PermitMagic aggregates permit requirements into structured, verified guides. Instead of digging through government PDFs and outdated websites, you get a clear breakdown of what you need, what it costs, and how the process works — all in one place.
