Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Our basic permit lookup is completely free — no account required. We also offer a detailed Pro Report for $7.99 that includes a full written analysis, building department contacts, and actionable next steps.
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. Our Pro Report includes step-by-step guidance and direct contact info to help you get started.
We currently cover 605 cities across 180 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.
