Every permit, every deadline, one dashboard

Add, apply, renew
Add existing permits
FreeEnter the permits you already hold — or upload copies — and PermitsDesk starts tracking their expiration dates immediately. Included with your subscription at no extra charge.
Apply for a new permit
$499Our team prepares and submits the application, chases the agency, and posts every status change to your portal until the permit is in your hands. $499 is the default service fee per application.
Renew a permit
$250When a renewal window opens, hand it off. We handle the paperwork and follow-up for a default service fee of $250 per renewal.
Service fees are PermitsDesk fees and do not include government filing fees, which vary by permit and jurisdiction.
The permits we track from day one
PermitsDesk launches with the five permit types that regulated retail locations deal with most — each with its real renewal cycle built in.
| Permit type | Renewal cycle |
|---|---|
| EBT / Food Stamp | Renews every 5 years |
| TABC / Alcohol | Renews every 2 years |
| Cigarette / E-Cig | Due May 31 of even-numbered years |
| Ice Maker / Trade Plumbing | Renews annually |
| Fire | Renews annually |
Status tracking you don't have to decode
Every application and renewal moves through clear, customer-facing statuses, so you always know whether the ball is in your court, ours, or the agency's.
Our targets vs. government processing times
Status timelines on PermitsDesk reflect our own service targets for the work we control — preparing, submitting, and following up. Government agencies process applications on their own schedules, which vary and are outside our control.
Expiration warnings that escalate
A daily automated check compares every permit against its expiration date and sends reminders at each milestone:
Reminders continue after expiration until the permit is renewed or marked resolved — a lapsed permit never disappears quietly.
A document vault for every location
Permit copies, receipts, EIN documents, and supporting paperwork are stored encrypted, organized by location and permit, and available whenever an inspector, landlord, or lender asks. Access is limited to your organization — managers see only documents for their assigned location.
Put your permits on autopilot
Add your existing permits free during your 30-day trial and see every expiration date in one place.
