Nothing to do
The permit is issued, canceled, or finalized. No follow-up is needed.
How PermitPilot works
Know what is happening and what to do next.
PermitPilot checks the public permit record every day. It looks at the latest city reviews, finds who needs to act, and tells you when a delay may need your attention.
One clear answer
Your permit will show one of four outcomes
Get it issued
The reviews are done. You may need to pay fees, add licensed contractor information, or contact the city.
Follow up
The city or your architect has not responded within a reasonable amount of time. PermitPilot tells you who to contact.
Wait for now
The permit is moving normally and has not been waiting long enough to require a follow-up.
Who needs to act
PermitPilot follows each handoff
Is the city still reviewing?
If one or more city departments have not responded, PermitPilot shows that the permit is waiting on the city.
Did the city request changes?
Once all departments respond, any requested changes mean the permit is waiting on your architect to coordinate and submit updated documents.
Are all reviews complete?
If all reviews are complete but the permit has not advanced, PermitPilot shows that the city needs to move it forward.
Is it ready to be issued?
PermitPilot shows what you may need to complete, such as paying fees, adding contractor information, or contacting the city.
How we measure delays
We track how long each response has been waiting
The wait starts on the date the permit was submitted.
One submission date is used for every city department reviewing the same update.
PermitPilot uses the earliest known city response to show a minimum wait until you enter the actual date.
The wait starts when the last city department responds and updated documents are needed.
