About Permit Place: 20+ Years of Trusted Permit Expertise for Commercial Projects Nationwide

For over two decades, we’ve seen countless projects get delayed, derailed, or abandoned due to the complexities of securing building permits. Permit Place was founded in 2003 with a single, clear mission: to be the expert guide that clears the path for builders, architects, and business owners, turning bureaucratic hurdles into straightforward approvals. We believe that a great project shouldn’t be stopped by red tape.

About Permit Place: Our Commitment to Faster Approvals

Why Multi-Location Brands Choose PermitPlace Over Other Permit Expediting Services

For nearly 20 years, we’ve specialized in one thing: getting commercial permits approved faster for retail and restaurant brands. While other expediting services make promises, we publish proof. Our 60+ named case studies include specific clients, jurisdictions, and measurable results—not generic success stories.

What sets us apart isn’t just experience; it’s accountability. We’re the only national permit expediter offering Service Level Agreements with missed-SLA credits and resubmittal coverage for our errors. When you’re coordinating 20+ locations across multiple states, you need a partner who guarantees results.

His vision extends beyond traditional expediting. As an AI programmer and blockchain developer, Michael is pioneering the integration of emerging technologies into government permitting processes, positioning PermitPlace at the forefront of permit automation innovation.
