01 — The Problem

Every Planning Department Is Understaffed. The Math Doesn't Work.

Rising ADU and density mandates are flooding planning departments with inquiries — but headcount stays flat.

200+
Routine inquiries per month

"Can I build an ADU?" "What's my zoning?" "Is this in a flood zone?" — the same questions, every single day.

$80-120K
Per planner, per year

And most of that salary goes toward answering questions that don't require professional judgment.

67%
Are pre-application inquiries

Two-thirds of inquiries never become permit applications. Staff hours burned with zero revenue impact.

Government Procurement FAQ

Common questions from city managers, IT directors, and planning staff.

Does this require a procurement process?
No. Our 90-day pilot is free and requires no procurement approval, RFP, or council vote. If you want to continue after the pilot, we offer annual contracts compatible with standard government purchasing.
What about data security and compliance?
ReadyPermit uses SOC 2 Type II-aligned security controls, 256-bit TLS encryption, and stores no PII. All property data comes from official government APIs — we never scrape. Our infrastructure runs on AWS with CCPA compliance.
Can we white-label this for our city?
Yes. The widget can match your .gov site design, colors, and branding. For a full white-label portal, we can deploy on a custom subdomain (e.g., zoning.yourcity.gov) with your logo and color scheme.
How does pricing work for municipalities?
We offer annual government contracts based on jurisdiction population and usage volume. Enterprise pricing includes unlimited lookups, dedicated support, and custom reporting. Contact us for a quote.
What IT resources are needed?
Zero. Embedding the widget requires pasting one line of HTML — no backend changes, no database integration, no IT project. Your webmaster can do it in 5 minutes.
