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

Status Changes

Plan check approved, corrections required, permit issued, holds placed or released.

Inspections

Inspections scheduled, passed, failed, or rescheduled — you know before the contractor calls.

Expiration Dates

Get reminders before your permit expires so you never miss a renewal deadline.

PDF Reports

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

Multi-Jurisdiction

Track permits across different cities from one dashboard — no juggling portals.

Team Sharing

Share permits with your team. Everyone sees the same dashboard and gets their own alerts.

Who Uses Permit Tracking

General Contractors

Managing 5-20 active permits across multiple cities. One dashboard instead of five portal logins.

Homeowners

Waiting on a remodel or ADU permit. Get an email when it clears instead of calling the building department.

Solar Installers

High permit volume across jurisdictions. Track every install from submittal to final inspection.

Architects & Engineers

Know the moment plan check is approved or corrections are required — without the client calling first.

Real Estate Agents

Track open permits on a property before closing. Share PDF reports with lenders and title companies.

Property Managers

Track tenant improvement permits across a portfolio. Expiration alerts prevent compliance gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does automatic permit tracking work? →

Enter your permit number on SignedOff. Our system checks the city's permit portal every night and compares the current status against what we saw last time. When something changes — status update, inspection scheduled, deadline approaching — you get an email alert. No logins, no manual checking.

Which cities does SignedOff track permits for? →

SignedOff currently tracks permits across 15 jurisdictions in California, North Carolina, Florida, and Colorado — including Los Angeles (LADBS), LA County (EPIC-LA), Pasadena, Anaheim, San Diego, Sacramento, Charlotte, Denver, Fort Lauderdale, and more. We add new cities every month.

Can I track multiple permits at once? →

Yes. SignedOff lets you track multiple permits across different cities from a single dashboard. Contractors managing several active projects use it to stay on top of all their permits without logging into each city portal separately.

What kind of alerts does SignedOff send? →

SignedOff sends email alerts for status changes, inspection scheduling, and approaching expiration dates. You can configure urgent alerts for immediate status changes and daily digests for routine updates.

Is permit tracking free? →

SignedOff offers a free plan that lets you track permits and receive status alerts. Solo ($49/mo) and Team ($149/mo) plans add features like PDF reports, expiration reminders, and multi-user dashboards. No credit card required to start.

Do I need to create an account on the city portal? →

No. SignedOff checks the city portal for you. You just need your permit number — SignedOff handles the rest. You never need to log into the city's Accela, EnerGov, LADBS, or EPIC-LA portal to get status updates.
