What we track

Every permit type. Every jurisdiction. Automatically.

Plumbing permit requirements vary significantly across California's hundreds of jurisdictions. What takes 5 days in one city can take 21 in the next. For plumbing contractors running multiple active jobs, manually tracking status across different portals is slow, error-prone, and expensive when you miss an update. InstaPermit pulls your plumbing permits automatically and keeps your entire team on the same page.

Water heater replacement

One of the most common plumbing permits in California. Tracked automatically across every jurisdiction.

Whole-home repipe

Copper and PEX repipe permits tracked from submission to final inspection. Time-sensitive jobs that need current status.

Sewer line repair and replacement

Sewer permits are time-sensitive and jurisdiction-specific. InstaPermit monitors them automatically.

Gas line installation

Gas line permits for new appliances, generators, and outdoor cooking — tracked across every California AHJ.

Drain and fixture permits

New fixture installations and drain work permits tracked automatically in your dashboard.

Tankless water heater

Tankless water heater conversions often require both plumbing and gas permits. InstaPermit tracks both.

California coverage

Every major market. One dashboard.

InstaPermit covers the five highest-volume permit markets in California — with more jurisdictions added every day.
