Permit & Inspection Tracker

Replacement jobs can get stuck when permit status lives in email threads and only one person knows where things stand. This workflow gives the team a live view of permits and inspections, plus automatic reminders when action is needed with the city, inspector, or homeowner.

How It Works

01

Create a permit record

As soon as a job requiring a permit is sold, a permit tracker entry is created with the job number and municipality.

02

Update status milestones

Submitted, approved, scheduled inspection, passed, or correction-needed statuses are logged as the job progresses.

03

Notify the right people

Operations, field crews, and homeowners receive reminders when inspections are scheduled or when documents are still missing.

04

Close the permit loop

Once the final inspection passes, the job record is updated so invoicing and closeout can move forward.

Key Benefits

  • Reduces install delays caused by missing permit visibility
  • Keeps inspections from being forgotten or double-booked
  • Improves coordination with homeowners and crews
  • Creates a cleaner compliance trail for each install job

In Practice

A heat pump replacement in Los Angeles needs a city inspection, so the permit tracker alerts the install coordinator when approval lands, schedules the inspection reminder, and notifies the homeowner about the access window.
