Permit Junkie

Municipality Support

Permitting modernization residents notice.

Modernize your permitting department with AI plan review, jurisdiction intelligence, and a citizen-facing concierge — without ripping out legacy systems.

Overview

Citizen concierge

Vizar answers resident questions 24/7 in plain language, in their language — reducing front-counter volume.

Staff augmentation

APRIE pre-reviews submissions so staff focus on judgment calls instead of completeness checks.

Legacy integration

Connects to Accela, BS&A, Tyler EnerGov, and others without forcing a system swap.

What the 30 minutes looks like

Four steps, about 30 minutes total.

  1. Upload a real plan set · ~5 min

    You bring a recent submittal or plan set. We upload it live on the call — no sample data, no pre-processing, nothing shared or used to train models.

  2. Watch the parallel discipline scan · ~5 min

    Permit Junkie runs building, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire, and zoning passes in parallel and streams progress while it works. Most packets finish in under a minute.

  3. Review the findings against your own code · ~10 min

    Every finding cites the adopted code edition and your local amendments, with the sheet and detail it came from, so your reviewers can confirm or dismiss it in seconds.

  4. Take the marked-up packet and next steps · ~10 min

    You leave with the highlighted PDF, a corrections summary page, and a written plan for running Permit Junkie alongside your existing permitting system — no system swap required.

Demo questions, answered

What to expect before you book — no sales gate.

Do we have to replace our permitting software to use Permit Junkie?
No. Permit Junkie runs alongside your existing permitting system. Reviewers upload or forward a submittal, get an AI pre-review, and keep issuing permits of record in the system you already use.
Can you review our own local amendments and ordinances?
Yes. We ingest your adopted code editions, local amendments, and ordinance text so review comments cite your jurisdiction's rules, not just the model code.
Who should attend from our city or county?
Typically the building official or plan review supervisor, one reviewer per discipline you care about, and whoever owns your permitting software. Three to five people works well.
How long is a Permit Junkie demo?
About 30 minutes. We walk through a real plan set end to end — upload, parallel discipline review, the marked-up PDF, and the corrections summary — then leave time for your questions.
Is the demo free?
Yes. Demos are free, there is no commitment, and you do not need a credit card. You can also start on the free tier without talking to anyone.
How soon will someone get back to me?
You can pick a time instantly on the scheduling calendar after submitting the form. If you would rather we reach out, we reply by email within one business day.
What should I bring to the demo?
A sample plan set or permit application from a recent project. Seeing your own documents reviewed is far more useful than a canned dataset. Nothing you upload during a demo is shared or used to train models.

Frequently asked questions

What is municipality support?
Municipality support 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 municipality support?
Most municipality support 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 municipality support cost?
Municipality support 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.
