PermitPortal

PermitPortal is an applied AI platform for land development and government affairs. It helps development teams and utilities find viable sites, understand how a jurisdiction is likely to treat a project before a letter of intent is signed, map every approval needed to break ground, and keep watching the local record after the deal closes. AI agents read agendas, minutes, ordinances, roll call votes, utility actions and local press every night, match each event to the approval it affects, and translate it into a schedule impact and a recommended move. It is aimed at developers and infrastructure owners in asset classes that need a public vote to proceed: data centers, industrial and logistics, energy and storage, utilities, and mixed use master plans. Services run as agent workflows with a development professional reviewing output before it reaches the client. They include site selection and screening against power, water, zoning, flood and habitat constraints, jurisdiction intelligence scored from a governing body's own votes and rescored weekly, a cited due diligence report across zoning, political, environmental, traffic and community factors, an entitlement and permit schedule with predecessor chains, hearing briefing books, nightly monitoring with analyst briefs, a data API for scores, ordinances and hearings, and AI GIS querying across thousands of layers. Every US jurisdiction is scored, and international parcels are handled on request. Pricing is not published. PermitPortal asks prospects to book a demo and bring a single site, sets it up with them at no commitment, and scopes the wider portfolio from there. The vendor is explicit that it does not replace civil engineers or land use counsel: it does not design, survey, stamp or file, and those advisors work from the same record.
