A professional service that manages the building permit process on behalf of a project owner or developer, navigating government agencies to accelerate approvals and resolve issues.

What is Permit Expediting?

Permit expediting is a professional service where specialists manage the permitting process on behalf of property owners, developers, or contractors. Expediters handle the preparation, submission, tracking, and follow-up of permit applications across multiple government agencies, leveraging their knowledge of local procedures, relationships with department staff, and experience resolving common issues.

What Permit Expediters Do

Expediters typically perform pre-application research to identify all required permits and approvals, prepare and submit application packages, track review progress, coordinate responses to correction comments, schedule and attend meetings with reviewers, and ensure that all conditions of approval are satisfied. For complex projects requiring approvals from multiple agencies, expediters serve as a single point of coordination.

When Expediting Makes Sense

Permit expediting is particularly valuable for projects in unfamiliar jurisdictions, complex commercial developments requiring multiple permits, time-sensitive projects where delays carry significant carrying costs, and national developers operating across many municipalities with different procedures. The cost of expediting services is often offset many times over by the time savings achieved.
