Frequently asked questions

What is document preparation?
Document preparation is a specialized permit workflow Permit Junkie automates end-to-end. We combine AI document review, jurisdiction-specific rules, and live submission tracking so you spend minutes instead of weeks.
How fast is Permit Junkie document preparation?
Most document preparation packets are AI-prepared in under 10 minutes. Approval timelines then depend on the jurisdiction — Permit Junkie's Municipality Intelligence shows live processing times for every department.
Do I need a licensed professional?
For straightforward residential scopes, no. For high-risk or commercial submissions, Permit Junkie's Filing Concierge pairs you with a licensed expediter or architect already credentialed in your jurisdiction.
How much does document preparation cost?
Document preparation starts free with a permit-readiness scan. Full filings are priced per project on the Pricing page — typically a fraction of a traditional expediter's hourly rate.
