Stop losing time (and money) on permit surprises
Every contractor has stories about jobs that went sideways because the site data was wrong.
Call three different offices trying to figure out which building department has jurisdiction
Building department jurisdiction auto-detected from the parcel's geospatial location
Bid a job then find out the property is in a Special Flood Hazard Area with BFE requirements
Flood zone designation and SFHA status returned instantly — no surprises at permit time
Guess at wind speed requirements and hope the engineer confirms later
700yr and 1700yr MRI wind speeds per ASCE risk category — exact values for your location
Drive to the building department to look up the property's permit history and owner info
Parcel ID, owner name, year built, and assessed value from FL DOR records — from your truck
The data that saves you change orders
Know these numbers before you price the job, not after you've started.

Bring your own AI agent
The estimator's lookup, without the estimator's afternoon
Pre-bid research is the same eight questions on every property. That is a job for a tool, not for a person with a browser and twenty minutes.
While you are still on the phone
Ask your assistant for the jurisdiction, flood zone and wind speed on an address and have it before the call ends, rather than promising to check and get back to them.
Across a bid list
Run every address you are bidding this week through the API at once, so the surprises show up during pricing rather than after the contract is signed.
Sourced, so it holds up
Every value comes back with where it came from and when. Useful when a number ends up in a contract and somebody asks about it later.
What building department has jurisdiction at 4124 SE Fairway E, Stuart FL, and what is the flood zone and design wind speed?
How it works for you
Pre-bid site research
Run a PropDocket report on the property before you visit the site. Know the jurisdiction, flood zone, and wind speed so you can price accurately from day one.
Permit application prep
Walk into the building department with the parcel ID, jurisdiction, and flood zone already confirmed. Less back-and-forth, faster permit approvals.
Subcontractor coordination
Share the report with your engineer, architect, and subs so everyone is working from the same data. No more conflicting assumptions about site conditions.
Questions we actually get
How do you know which building department has jurisdiction?
Jurisdiction is resolved from the parcel's location against county and municipal boundaries, not from the mailing address. A property with a city mailing address that actually falls under county authority resolves to the county.
Does this pull permits for me?
No. PropDocket reads permit data — status, inspections, documents, history. Filing an application and paying fees stays between you and the building department.
How current is the permit data?
It is read live from the county or municipal portal at request time rather than from a periodic copy, so it reflects what the portal shows when you ask. Coverage varies by jurisdiction and any source we could not reach is listed in the response.
What if the address does not match a parcel exactly?
The response carries a match_method field. An exact match says exact; a fuzzy or coordinate-based resolution says so, so you know whether to confirm the parcel before pricing off it.
