PermitPulse automatically tracks every permit and inspection deadline across all your jobs — and texts and emails you before anything expires.
No credit card. No annual contract. Setup in 30 minutes.
Contractors don't lose permits because they don't care. They lose them because they're on a job site — not watching a spreadsheet.
"We lost a $40,000 job because a permit expired and we didn't catch it. Shared Google Sheet — nobody updated it."
"A sub's permit expired and we had no system to catch it. We nearly lost our license over something that should have been a 30-second email."
"Managing 8 jobs at once. There's no way I'm manually checking 15 permits every week."
"I didn't even know the permit had an inspection window. By the time I found out, we'd already missed it."
We onboard you personally on a call and add your first permits together. After that — automatic.
One project per job — name, address, trade type. We do the first batch with you on your setup call. About 60 seconds each.
Permit number, type, issue date, expiry date. Alerts are scheduled the moment you hit save. Takes 90 seconds per permit.
Email and SMS at 30, 14, 7, and 1 day before expiry. Your sub-contractor gets alerted automatically if they hold the permit.
Every Monday at 8am: all permits across all jobs, sorted by urgency. One glance and you know nothing is at risk.
This is your permit dashboard — all jobs, all permits, color-coded by how urgent they are. The moment you log in, you know exactly what needs attention today.
Your actual dashboard — every permit across every job, sorted by urgency. Permit numbers blurred for privacy.
This is not a hypothetical. Here is exactly what happened on one job — the permit, the alert, and what it prevented.
Marcus was running 6 jobs in the Tampa area simultaneously — electrical rough-ins on 4 residential builds and 2 commercial retrofits. He was tracking permits in a shared Google Sheet that three people could edit. The Birchwood Drive job had an electrical permit issued in March with a 180-day validity window. Nobody had noted the expiry date correctly. The permit was set to expire on a Friday. He had a crew scheduled on that job the following Monday.
Marcus called Orange County Building Department that morning and requested an expedited renewal. Because he called 7 days out — not after the expiry — they processed it by Wednesday. Total cost: one phone call and a $45 renewal fee. The crew started on schedule Monday morning.
Without the alert, the permit would have expired over the weekend. Renewing an expired permit in Orange County takes 3–6 weeks and requires a re-inspection — pushing the job by at least a month and putting the $34,000 contract at risk of cancellation.
"I didn't even realize the expiry date was wrong in our spreadsheet until the alert came through. That 7-day window was the difference between a $45 renewal call and losing the whole job."
A small group of contractors helped us build and test PermitPulse before launch.
"In the first week I got a 14-day alert I would have completely missed. That permit would have expired on a $28K job. The tool paid for itself before I was even billed."
"The setup call was 25 minutes. All 8 of my permits were in before we hung up and alerts were already running. I didn't have to figure anything out myself."
"The Monday digest alone is worth it. I know in 10 seconds every week whether anything needs attention. No more digging through spreadsheets before my morning coffee."
The biggest objection we hear is "I don't want to enter all my permits manually." So we're eliminating it. Take a photo of any permit — PermitPulse reads it and auto-fills everything.
Point your phone at any permit document — printed, laminated, on a job site board. The AI extracts every field and adds it to your dashboard in under 10 seconds.
As soon as the permit is parsed, your 30/14/7/1-day alert sequence starts automatically. No confirmation step, no manual review required.
Pre-trained on permit documents from Florida, California, Texas, Arizona, and 40+ other states. Handles printed, handwritten, and stamped formats.
While photo scanning is in development, your setup call covers it. You read us the permit details — we add them while you watch. Most contractors are fully set up in under 25 minutes.
