Who’s filing?
Welcome! A friend sent you — good friends share shortcuts. You’re about to file your permit in minutes.
Two quick taps — this shapes the rest of the flow.

Cutsheet packet for your submittal
Fire submittals need an indexed cutsheet packet — every device's manufacturer cutsheet and listing, verified against current CSFM listings. Two ways to handle it:
Plan Pre-Flight Check — $95
We review your plans before the city does — a 12-point screen with a written Pre-Flight Report in 4 business hours (same-day if it’s in by 2pm PT). Credited in full toward your filing when we file the permit.
First-Pass Warranty — +$149
Correction insurance for your filing. If the city issues corrections on anything our pre-flight cleared, we write the correction response and resubmit — free. It covers our rework, never the city’s decision.
Not covered: the city’s approval, issuance, or timelines (we never promise those), client-caused scope changes, or items the pre-flight flagged.
Inspection scheduling
We book your city inspection for you and send you the confirmation — one less thing to chase after the permit lands. We schedule it; the city sets the slot.
Trade-first pricing: choose 1 no-plans trade for $125. Add a second and confirm the $250 Simple Bundle with one tap; it covers up to 4 trades at the same site. A trade is a type of work (electrical, plumbing, mechanical, fire, sign): one permit can cover several trades, and we count trades, not paperwork, so you never pay twice for one permit covering multiple trades. Plan-review work — including structural, fire-rated construction, and change of use — follows the $250-per-permit Complex path.

Authorize the filing
Sign the authorization letter naming PermitsPros as your agent. The city requires it before we can file on your behalf.
Your authorization letter
This is the exact letter we file with the city. Sign it with your finger below, then submit — it goes straight to our filing team.
Upload didn’t go through — and send it via the next step.
After you pay:
- Sign the authorization letter right here — it goes straight to our filing team.
- Upload a clear photo of the contractor’s government-issued photo ID in the next step.
- Send your job files (plans, cut sheets) the same way.
Letter, then ID
Two quick uploads and we file. Nothing moves until both are in.
1 · Your signed letter
Already submitted with your signature — nothing more to do here. If it didn’t go through, upload it below.
Having trouble?
2 · Your photo ID
