Latest updates and improvements to the platform
The free plan's single Permit Advisor run is now 3 runs in any 24 hours, so you can run it again after improving a project's description.
A milestone you add is now private by default, so internal reminders never reach a client by accident. Turn on Show on client dashboard for the ones they should follow.
Add the architect, engineer, contractor and others to a project with their role, then mark which milestones are waiting on whom. The Clients page is now Contacts.
Give each project a client, then filter your Projects and Permits pages by them. A new Clients page keeps their contact details.
Permit Advisor now searches the county's official site as well as the city's, runs a separate search for each kind of work your description names, and links more of its suggestions to the official page behind them.
Select milestones to show, hide, complete or delete them together. A new Dashboard column shows which ones your client can see, and standard milestones now start private.
Click a column heading to sort the Projects and Permits pages, a project's permits and a permit's milestones, in either direction.
Projects, permits and your home dashboard load faster, adding suggested permits is near-instant, and signing up and upgrading have fewer snags.
Shared dashboards now tell your clients they're paused and who to contact, instead of sending them to Permitful's homepage, and Permitful tells you too.
Suggestions you skip are offered again until you act on them, and a free run that finds nothing for your project isn't used up.
Add the expiry date printed on a permit and Permitful warns you 30 days before it lapses, so you never have to reapply and pay again.
Subscribe once and every milestone on your active projects shows up in Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar, and stays up to date when dates change.
Every permit now keeps a record of its status changes, so you can see when it was submitted, how long it has been in review, and how long each step took.
Permit Advisor now recommends permits from Permitful's permit catalog, searches by your project's city, and only cites pages it actually read.
Mark a milestone private to keep internal reminders off the client dashboard, right next to the dates your clients see.
Track one active project for free, including one Permit Advisor run, with no credit card required. Pro unlocks unlimited projects, Permit Advisor on every project and public client dashboards.
Add a permit's typical milestone sequence in one click, dated from your start date, instead of typing each step by hand.
We've tightened security on public project dashboards and issued every project a new share link. Links shared before this change no longer work.
Share your project dashboard with clients in one click. The Public Dashboard button now opens a menu with 'Open in new tab' and 'Copy link' so you can open or copy the dashboard URL from one place.
Spend less time researching permits. Permit Advisor uses AI and real-time web search to suggest the permits your project is likely to need, based on its location and type.
We've added a new section to home dashboard with key analytics for your projects and permits.
We've added a new status progress bar to the permit details page to help you track the progress of your permits.
