Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built PermitPal because I got tired of watching people (homeowners and small business owners) waste days or weeks calling city offices, reading confusing PDFs, or guessing what permits they actually need. PermitPal lets you type your project + location (e.g. "backyard deck in Austin, TX" or "home-based bakery in California") and instantly get: → Required permits checklist → Realistic cost ranges → Timelines → Step-by-step guide → PDF export It works across all 50 US states and focuses on hyper-local rules. This is my first launch on Product Hunt. I built it in a short time using Lovable.dev and I'm actively looking for feedback to make it better. Would love to hear your thoughts — especially if you’ve ever struggled with permits before! Try it here: https://permit-guide-ai.lovable.app
