Permit Junkie

Municipal Permit Software

Evaluate a scoped municipal permitting pilot.

Evaluate scoped pilot capabilities for AI-assisted plan review, jurisdiction intelligence, workflows, and a citizen-facing concierge.

Overview

AI plan review (APRIE)

APRIE can produce informational plan findings with evidence and coverage limits for staff validation in a configured pilot.

Citizen concierge

A configured pilot can provide AI-assisted resident guidance with escalation and language support defined during implementation.

Legacy import

Legacy imports from systems such as Accela, BS&A, or Tyler EnerGov require a separately scoped, authorized, and reconciled migration.

See APRIE plan review, the citizen concierge, and legacy integrations on your own permit types. 30 minutes, no system swap required.

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 applicable discipline checks in parallel and streams progress while it works. Processing time varies with packet size, document quality, and service availability.

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

    Findings show their document location and available authority evidence. Adopted-code or local-amendment gaps remain visibly unverified so reviewers can confirm the basis before relying on them.

  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 choose from available times on the scheduling calendar after submitting the form. Any displayed response target is an operating goal, not a guaranteed response time.
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

Do I always need a municipal permit?
Requirements depend on the authority, property, and scope. Permit Junkie can compare your project with available jurisdiction records, but unresolved or stale authority information is labeled for confirmation with the issuing department.
How long does a municipal permit take to approve?
Approval time varies by authority, project complexity, review workload, and corrections. Permit Junkie shows a processing estimate only when a sourced record is available; confirm current timing with the issuing department.
What documents do I need for a municipal permit?
Typical packets may include an application, scope of work, site plan, scaled drawings, and contractor information. Vizar builds a project checklist from your answers and available authority records, while visibly marking items that still need confirmation.
Can Permit Junkie submit the municipal permit for me?
Permit Junkie supports preparation and review. Filing or status-tracking services are offered only where a provider, authority workflow, and required authorization are available; the scope and fees are shown before purchase.
