FAQ
Questions, answered.
What Permit Genie does, who it's for, and how it fits alongside the architects, engineers, and expediters already on your project.
What is Permit Genie?
Permit Genie is software that turns permitting from chaos into clarity. Enter a property address and get a complete permitting roadmap — research the permits required, optimize costs, get realistic timelines, and prepare the documents your jurisdiction will require.
Who is Permit Genie for?
Permit Genie is B2B software built for real estate developers, homebuilders, general contractors, architecture and engineering firms, and permit expediters who manage permitting across multiple properties or jurisdictions. If you evaluate permit risk before acquiring or building on a site, Permit Genie is built for your workflow.
Is Permit Genie a government agency or affiliated with one?
No. Permit Genie is an independent, privately held technology company. We read and organize publicly available municipal zoning, building, and permitting data; we do not issue permits and do not represent any city, county, or state agency.
Which locations does Permit Genie cover?
Permit Genie is built to analyze any U.S. address. Coverage depth varies by jurisdiction as we expand our municipal data integrations, and we add new cities and counties on an ongoing basis.
Do I still need an architect, engineer, or permit expediter?
For most projects, yes. Permit Genie doesn't replace licensed design professionals or file applications on your behalf. It replaces the guesswork of figuring out what you need and when, so your consultants and your project move faster.
Can Permit Genie help me find a contractor or engineer?
Yes. When a permit requires a licensed professional — a stamped structural drawing, a contractor of record — our marketplace surfaces licensed, verified pros alongside highly rated service providers near your project, so you can request bids without leaving Permit Genie.
Is my project data private?
Yes. Project addresses, documents, and analysis are scoped to your account and are not sold to third parties. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Who built Permit Genie?
Permit Genie is built by a team with backgrounds in institutional real estate and AI product engineering, and is backed by Silicon Valley's premier community for experienced AI founders.
