Code & Permitting
What is Permitting?
Permitting is the process of obtaining government approval to build: assembling application documents, paying fees, passing plan review, and clearing inspections. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, which is what makes it slow and expertise-heavy.
In practice
Permit-tech companies attack it from both sides: platforms that automate research, preparation, and submission for applicants, and modern software for the agencies themselves. AI shortens the research ('what does this jurisdiction require?') dramatically.
