Permitrust: Know Your Permit Before You Build

I built Permitrust because figuring out whether you need a permit shouldn't require digging through dozens of municipal websites, PDFs, zoning codes, and outdated information. A simple project like a deck, shed, fence, or garage can involve permits, setbacks, zoning restrictions, building codes, fees, and different local requirements. Permitrust is our attempt to make that research dramatically simpler. You enter your project and property details, and Permitrust helps research the applicable local requirements and turns them into information you can actually understand and act on. We’re launching today to get Permitrust in front of homeowners and contractors, learn where it falls short, and keep improving it. If you've ever started a project and thought, “Do I actually need a permit for this?” — I'd love your feedback.
