Frequently asked questions
- Do I always need a contractor permit?
- In most U.S. jurisdictions, yes — any contractor work that affects structure, life-safety, or utility connections requires a permit. PermitJunkie checks your local rules against your project scope so you never guess.
- How long does a contractor permit take to approve?
- Approval times vary by municipality and project complexity — from 24 hours for a counter permit to 6–12 weeks for plan review. PermitJunkie's Municipality Intelligence shows live processing times for every jurisdiction in our network.
- What documents do I need for a contractor permit?
- Typical packets include an application, scope of work, site plan, scaled drawings, and licensed-contractor proof. PermitPal builds your personalized checklist in seconds based on your address and project type.
- Can PermitJunkie submit the contractor permit for me?
- Yes. Our Permit Filing Concierge tier handles preparation, final AI review, and submission to your jurisdiction, then tracks status until it's issued.
