How long does a risk scan take?

About five minutes. PermitPilot checks your project details against your jurisdiction's requirements and builds your checklist, flagged risks and SolarAPP+ eligibility pre-check into one report.

Which jurisdictions do you cover?

Residential solar permits in California, Texas and Florida. We're expanding city by city — if your AHJ isn't fully covered yet, the report tells you what's state-level guidance versus city-verified data.

How accurate is the local data?

Reports combine AI analysis with live jurisdiction research where available, and we show our sources on every line. Requirements change and AHJs interpret them differently — always verify the final checklist with your AHJ before submitting.

Do you guarantee my permit gets approved?

No. We flag risks before you submit — we can't and don't guarantee AHJ approval. The report shows what your jurisdiction typically requires so you can fix problems before filing; the final decision always belongs to your AHJ.

How is this different from SolarAPP+?

SolarAPP+ is the free federal tool for instant permit approval in participating jurisdictions — use it whenever you can. PermitPilot pre-checks whether your project and AHJ qualify, and builds your requirements checklist when they don't. We complement SolarAPP+, we don't replace it.

Does PermitPilot produce stamped plans or fill out my forms?

No — PermitPilot is a pre-submission research and risk-flagging tool. It doesn't produce plan sets, fill out application forms, or issue licensed engineering or PE stamps, but it tells you exactly which documents will need one.
