For homeowners planning a deck, fence, solar, or ADU — we prepare both approvals, file everything, and track it to approved.
Permits cause 31% of home project delays — and 82% of new homes sold now sit behind an HOA gate.
Two approval gauntlets. Zero straight answers.
Your HOA’s architectural committee meets once a month, wants forms you’ve never heard of, and can move the goalposts after you submit.
The city wants drawings your contractor’s quote doesn’t include — and the review queue runs 2 to 5 months in slow metros.
One rejected submission restarts the clock. Reviewer comments read like riddles, and nobody tells you what “revise and resubmit” actually means.
So your project sits. Your contractor moves on to the next job, prices creep up, and the season you planned to build in slips away.
One case. Both approvals. Flat price.
1
Step 1 — Tell us your project.
Enter your address, project type, and photos or your contractor’s quote. You get a free 2-page Approval Report listing everything your HOA and your city will require — including what would get you rejected.
2
Step 2 — We prepare and file.
A permit specialist, backed by AI tooling, writes your ARC packet, assembles the city permit application, and submits both.
3
Step 3 — We handle revisions until it’s approved.
When a reviewer comes back with comments, we translate them, fix the documents, and resubmit. You get a status ping at every stage.

FAQ
Is this available yet?
Not yet — we’re opening in one HOA-heavy metro first, with founding users getting first access. Sign up and you’ll get a free Approval Report for your address when we open your area, before anyone else.
Why wouldn’t I just file it myself?
For a shed or a short fence, you should — self-filing works for simple projects. But medium projects fail on details: a missing ledger drawing or a 34-inch railing restarts a multi-week review clock every time. We exist for the projects where one rejection costs you a month.
$1,497 feels like a lot.
Local permit expediters charge $500 to $2,500 — and they only handle the city side. Our price covers the HOA packet, the city permit, and every revision, flat. Compare it to a project stalled 2 to 5 months while your contractor’s price quietly goes up.
What if my HOA says no anyway?
We prepare your packet against your HOA’s actual governing documents, which prevents most denials. If the committee asks for changes, revisions and resubmission are included in the flat price — we stay on the case until there’s a decision.
Who actually prepares and files my documents?
A human permit specialist and drafter own your case. AI tooling drafts the paperwork fast; a person who knows your jurisdiction checks it, signs off, and files it. Nothing goes to your HOA or city unreviewed.
Do you cover my city and my HOA?
We’re launching in one metro and expanding by demand. When you sign up, your address tells us where to open next — founding users in each new metro get their first Approval Report free.
Stop guessing what the committee and the clerk want — get the full list for your project, free.
Founding users get early access and a free Approval Report for their address when we open their metro. No payment, no commitment.
