Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, completely free. No account required. Every lookup includes the permit required/not required answer, code citation, estimated fees, approval timeline, and building department contact info.
We research each city's building codes, ordinances, and fee schedules individually. Our data is based on publicly available municipal codes and building department information. That said, local rules change, we recommend confirming with your building department before starting work.
PermitMint helps you determine whether you need a permit and what to expect. We don't submit permit applications on your behalf, that process goes through your local building department, and we include their direct contact info with every lookup result.
We currently cover 1,500+ cities across 400+ major US metros, with more being added regularly. If your area isn't covered yet, our lookup tool uses the International Residential Code (IRC) as a baseline, and you can request coverage for your city through our lookup page.
