How PermitMagic Works
PermitMagic guides you through the entire permit application process — from finding requirements to generating a submission-ready packet.
Find permit requirements
Search for your city and permit type to see exactly what your local jurisdiction requires. PermitMagic covers solar, EV charger, deck, and ADU permits across hundreds of US cities.
Each permit page includes official document requirements, fee schedules, submission steps, and authority citations so you know the information is current.
Search cities →Upload required documents
Follow the document checklist tailored to your specific city and permit type. Upload each required file directly to your project workspace.
The checklist tells you exactly which documents are required, what format to use, and which submission step each document belongs to.
Browse permit types →Track readiness score
Monitor your permit readiness in real time as you complete each step of the workflow. The readiness engine evaluates your documents against jurisdiction-specific requirements.
The Next Action Engine tells you exactly what to do next, so you never have to guess which step comes after.
Go to workspace →Generate submission packet
When all workflow steps are complete, download a professional submission packet. The packet compiles your project info, required documents, and authority references into a single PDF.
The submission packet is designed to be submitted directly to your permitting authority — no reformatting required.
