How does PermitPal work?

PermitPal collects and structures records from the cities and counties that control your site, including planning commission agendas, staff reports, zoning codes, development agreements, and past permit applications. It compares your project against similar projects in the same jurisdiction and produces a diligence memo covering approval risk, zoning compliance, community friction, and practical next steps.

Who is PermitPal for?

PermitPal is designed for development teams and infrastructure investors evaluating renewable energy, battery energy storage, data center, and other major infrastructure projects. It is especially useful for teams that need to assess permitting feasibility early and avoid expensive site mistakes.

Can PermitPal help with renewable energy permitting due diligence?

Yes. PermitPal is built to support diligence on energy projects and has case-study positioning around community-scale solar, battery storage, and multi-site portfolios. It helps teams understand how similar projects were treated locally before they advance development spend.

Can PermitPal help assess BESS permitting and political risk?

Yes. PermitPal helps teams assess how battery storage projects may be received in a specific jurisdiction by reviewing prior applications, approvals, denials, hearing materials, and local rules. That helps surface likely friction points before a BESS project enters a costly permitting path.
