How it works
15 agents. One permit pipeline.
Permitting isn't one job. Genie holds the critical path and dispatches a specialist for each stage — and every stage hands the next everything it learned.

Research
Read the parcel, the zoning, the municipal code, and the jurisdiction's own portal — then write down what's true.
Cost Optimizer
Finds the cheaper, faster version of the same project.
Due Diligence Agent
Tells you what the parcel will allow before you close on it.

From idea to approval, without the guesswork.
Permit Genie replaces fragmented consultants and stale municipal data with a single agentic workflow built for the way real projects actually move.

Every address, overlay, document, and decision is remembered, so each project gets faster and smarter than the last.
Live municipal data
Built on permitting rules that change locally and often — never stale, generic answers that put your timeline at risk.
Predictive insight
See likely costs, timelines, and approval risk up front, so you commit capital with confidence instead of guesswork.
Testimonials
What our users say.
Loved by builders and real estate professionals.
I was genuinely amazed after I spent just 15 minutes with Permit Genie. I used it on a live $5 million tenant improvement project I know well, and the estimated timeline and output matched what I already knew from experience — and I could validate all of it on the spot, because I've lived that process and know exactly what it takes to get a project to that point. The investment in the product, the AI, and the underlying engine is clearly working. I haven't seen another tool with this specific focus that could be this useful for someone in my role as an owner's rep. Permit Genie is a refreshing product, and I can see real value in using it to get better prepared before engaging with the building department.
$5M tenant improvement project
Roderick RochePrincipal at G & M Realty Ventures
It is very simple and easy to use, which I love. My example involved renovating my house, including both interior and exterior changes. I also love that it provides a step-by-step process, which is especially helpful for someone who has no idea how to navigate the permitting process.

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.
