Permit Services and Pricing *
We charge differently. Unlike other permit running companies, we do not feel right charging an hourly rate for something that could take hours! Some permits can take minutes to get online, while others may take hours to several days to acquire. Instead, we charge a flat rate for each of our services based on our experience with individual cities. Call to find out our rates for your city. Bulk pricing also available.
* Pricing below does not include cost of the actual permit fees which vary by city.
