How It Works
Enter Your Permit Number
Paste your permit number from any supported city. SignedOff auto-detects the jurisdiction and connects to the right portal.
We Check the Portal for You
Every night, SignedOff checks the city portal and compares the current status against what we saw last time. Any change gets flagged.
You Get Email Alerts
Status change? Inspection scheduled? Permit about to expire? You get an email. No portal logins. No phone calls to the building department.
What SignedOff Tracks

Expiration Dates

Download a permit status report with QR code — share it with clients, lenders, or your team.
Multi-Jurisdiction
