Property Managers
Managing renovations across multiple properties means constant permit research. PermitPal's Unlimited plan is perfect β one tool, unlimited projects, no more building department calls.
Contractors convert at higher rates and buy higher-tier plans β making them your most profitable audience to target.
Why contractors are your best bet
Contractors run permit checks on every single project. That's 5, 10, sometimes 20 projects a month β each one requiring a trip to the building department or hours of research online.
PermitPal replaces all of that. One tool, 60 seconds per project, full permit checklist and material cost estimate ready to share with the client.
At $19.99/month for the Pro plan, it's less than what most contractors spend on coffee in a week. And you earn $9.99/month for as long as they stay subscribed.
β Permit checklist for any project type in any US city
β Full material cost estimate to share with clients
β Inspector tips so they pass on the first visit
β Home Depot & Lowe's links for material sourcing
β Saves 2β4 hours of research per project

The $5,000 mistake homeowners make every day
Body
Hey [First Name],
Did you know the average fine for unpermitted home renovation work is over $5,000?
And 38% of US homes have unpermitted additions right now.
Most homeowners don't skip permits on purpose β they just don't know which ones they need. City websites are a maze. Every municipality has different rules. Most people give up trying to figure it out.
So they just start building.
And then the inspector shows up.
There's a tool I found that solves this in 60 seconds flat. It's called PermitPal, and it tells you exactly which permits you need for your specific project in your specific city β along with a full material cost estimate so you know your budget before you spend a dollar.
First report is completely free.

Don't start your renovation without it.

P.S. It also tells you what inspectors look for, so you pass on the first visit β not the third.
π Homeowner audience
Subject Line
Know your permits AND your costs before you build
Body
Hey [First Name],
Planning a home renovation?
Before you call a contractor or order a single piece of lumber, there are two things you need to know:
1. What permits does this project require in your city?
2. What is this actually going to cost?
Most homeowners find out the answer to #1 after they've already started β which means stop-work orders, fines, and delays. And most don't find out the real answer to #2 until the final invoice arrives.
PermitPal solves both problems in one 60-second report.
You enter your ZIP code, describe your project, and it generates:
β A permit checklist specific to your municipality
β A full material cost estimate by category
β Home Depot and Lowe's links for every material
β Tips on what inspectors look for
β Common mistakes to avoid
Your first report is free. No credit card required.

Quick question before you start that renovationβ¦
Body
Hey [First Name],
Quick question: do you know what permits you need for your project?
If you had to think about that for more than 3 seconds, this is for you.
Here's what happens when you skip permits (or get the wrong ones):
- Stop-work orders that shut down your project mid-build
- Fines from $500 to $10,000+ depending on your city
- Can't sell your home because banks won't lend on unpermitted work
- Forced to tear out finished work so an inspector can see it
PermitPal takes 60 seconds and tells you exactly what you need.
Just enter your ZIP, describe your project, and you get a municipality-specific permit checklist β plus a full material cost breakdown so you can budget accurately.
First one is free. No credit card.

Hey [First Name],
If you're a contractor, builder, or property manager, this is going to save you serious time.
Every new client project means figuring out permits. Different city, different rules, different forms. Hours spent on hold with building departments. Chasing down requirements that should take minutes to find.
PermitPal does it in 60 seconds.
Enter the project ZIP code and project type, and it generates a municipality-specific permit checklist with estimated fees, timelines, and what inspectors look for. Plus a full material cost breakdown you can use for client quotes.
I use it before every client meeting. It takes less time than parking at the building department.

How much time are you spending on permit research?
Body
Hey [First Name],
Let me ask you something: how many hours per month do you spend researching permit requirements for client projects?
If you're doing 10 projects a month and spending even 1 hour per project on permits β that's 10 hours. At $75/hr, that's $750 of your time every single month. Gone.
PermitPal does that research in 60 seconds per project.
Enter the project ZIP code, pick the project type, answer a few questions, and you get:
β Complete permit checklist for that municipality
β Permit fee estimates and typical timelines
β What inspectors will look for (so your clients pass first time)
β Full material cost breakdown to use in your quote
β Home Depot & Lowe's links for every material
The Pro plan is $19.99/month for 15 reports. That's $1.33 per report. Compare that to the hours you're spending now.

Before you make that offer β do you know the permit costs?
Body
Hey [First Name],
Fix-and-flip due diligence checklist. How many of you include permit research?
Most investors I talk to skip it β until they buy a property, start the rehab, and realize the full scope of permitting is going to add weeks and thousands to the project.
PermitPal changes that.
Before you make an offer on your next deal, run a PermitPal report on the rehab scope:
β Know exactly which permits the project will need
β Get permit fee estimates for the municipality
β See a full material cost breakdown to tighten your ARV math
β Find out inspection timelines so you can plan your flip schedule
This is the kind of intel that used to require a contractor walkthrough or a call to the building department. Now it takes 60 seconds.
