If you run jobs across more than one municipality, you're managing permits in spreadsheets, inboxes and memory.
Every city and county has different forms, timelines and portals. Nothing is standardized — except the fines.
Expired permits mean stop-work orders, re-inspection fees and delayed closings. A single slip wipes out your margin on the job.
Your office manager spends hours calling city halls and digging through email threads just to answer: "Where is our permit?"
Built specifically for small and mid-size residential contractors — not adapted from enterprise construction software.
Daily email reminders before every expiration, inspection window and resubmission date. You set the lead time, we handle the rest.
Type your city into any permit and see what actually ends it there — a printed date, no-work inactivity, or an inspection milestone — sourced from the city or building code, not a guess.
Know exactly which plans, signatures and attachments each permit is missing — before you drive to the permit office.
See the status of all active permits across every municipality at a glance. Filter by job, status or due date in seconds.
No IT department. No 6-week onboarding. Three steps.
Enter your active projects and their municipalities. It takes minutes — Crew subscribers can send us their spreadsheet and we'll import it free.
NoRedTag monitors expirations, inspection windows and resubmission deadlines for each job automatically.
Get a daily email before anything slips. Check the dashboard anytime for a live status of every permit.
Less than the cost of one re-inspection fee. Cancel anytime.

The short version: PermitFlow helps you get the permit. Procore runs the whole project. NoRedTag makes sure you never lose the permit after you have it — that's where the $5K–$50K fines live.
Guides we wrote because we got tired of watching good contractors pay avoidable fines.
How long permits last, what actually triggers expiration, and the renewal rules that catch contractors off guard.
WorkflowEvery city has different portals, forms and timelines. The 5-part system small contractors use to never miss a deadline.
Costs & FinesStop-work orders, re-inspection fees, code upgrades and delayed closings — the real math, with a worked example.
No. Permit filing tools submit applications for you. NoRedTag tracks the status, deadlines, inspections and requirements of permits you already have — the part where contractors actually lose money.
We're launching with 35+ cities and counties across Florida and Texas, with new cities and states added continuously based on where our customers operate — the same coverage on every plan.
Most contractors are live the same day. Add projects manually in minutes — Crew plan subscribers can also send us their current spreadsheet and we'll import everything for free.
Our alert system is designed with multiple reminders per deadline. In the rare case something slips due to a system failure on our side, we credit you a free month — and review what went wrong with you directly.
Yes. Monthly plans, no contracts, no cancellation fees. Your data is exportable at any time.
