Permit & Property Desk · Back Office for Building Owners

Every property. Every deadline. One desk.

Permit & Property Desk is the subscription back office for the people who own and run buildings. One desk runs your property operations — tenant inbox, maintenance dispatch, rent reminders, and lease calendars — and watches every permit, inspection, and compliance date, for owners, managers, and architects nationwide.

Two weeks free starts the moment you sign up · Sign yourself up, no call needed · No card required · Nothing auto-charges
How it works

Up and running in four steps

Self-serve from the first minute — sign up, add your properties, and our team runs the daily desk from there.

1
Sign up & start free

Sign up below — your two weeks free starts the moment you submit. No card, nothing auto-charges. Your login invite follows by email.

2
Add a property

Each property gets one profile — address, type, units, photos, documents, notes — and everything attaches to it from day one.

3
We run the daily desk

Tenant messages triaged, maintenance dispatched and followed up, rent reminders sent, and every lease, permit, and compliance date watched.

4
One monthly report

Every month: what came in, what was dispatched, what's due, and what's about to expire — one report per portfolio, no guessing.

Property operations

The daily work of running buildings, handled

Built for small landlords and property managers running 5–200 units — the inbox, the work orders, the rent, and the calendar, run every business day by real people.

1

Tenant inbox triage

Tenant messages read and sorted as they arrive — maintenance requests logged, questions answered from your house rules, and anything urgent flagged to you the same day.

2

Maintenance intake & dispatch follow-up

Every request becomes a tracked work order: vendor dispatched, appointment confirmed, and follow-up until the job is closed — no request living and dying in a text thread.

3

Rent reminders

Rent-due reminders sent on schedule, late notices drafted on your rules, and a clear record of who was reminded and when — before a late payment becomes a month-end surprise.

4

Lease & compliance deadline calendars

Lease renewals, expirations, inspections, registrations, and recurring compliance dates on one calendar with 60, 30, and 7-day alerts — every date that costs money when it's missed.

5

Monthly owner reports

One page a month: requests handled, work orders closed, rent status, upcoming deadlines, and open items. The proof of what the desk did, without you asking for it.

6

Permits & compliance, same desk

The same team watches your permits, inspections, licenses, and registrations through the desk's Permits & Compliance arm — see how it works.

Included in every plan

The Invoice Desk module

Every Permit & Property Desk plan includes our Invoice Desk module: owner and vendor invoice tracking, payment-reminder sequences, and aging reports — so the money side of the portfolio gets the same daily attention as the maintenance side. Rent reminders are already core to every plan; the module adds the invoices around them.

Property profiles

Add a property — one record for everything

The desk runs on property profiles. Add a property once, and the profile becomes the single home for everything about that building: its details, its documents, its deadlines, and its history.

Permits and compliance deadlines, inspection and violation status, maintenance history, and the rent and lease calendar all attach to the profile — so when a date approaches or a tenant calls, our team is looking at the same complete record you are.

“Add a property” is the core intake flow — the first thing you do inside the desk after signup, ahead of everything else. Owners, managers, and real estate agents and brokers can all add and maintain profiles for the properties they own, manage, or represent.

Start free & add your first property

What's on a property profile

  • Address — the property's street address and city/state
  • Property type — single-family, small multifamily, mixed-use, commercial
  • Units — unit count and unit mix
  • Beds / baths — per property or per unit
  • Square footage and year built
  • Photos — exterior, units, systems, and condition
  • Key documents — leases, insurance certificates, permits, registrations

Attached to every profile

Operations and compliance are the same calendar

The lease renewal, the inspection, the permit expiration, and the insurance certificate all land on the same owner. One desk should be watching all of them — so ours does.

Permits & compliance arm

Every permit and compliance date, watched

For property clients, the desk's Permits & Compliance arm watches the regulatory layer of the same properties — the dates that stop work, delay inspections, and draw fines when they slip.

1

Expiration & inspection tracking

Every active permit and scheduled inspection on a calendar with 60, 30, and 7-day alerts — a renewal never becomes a stop-work surprise.

2

Filing-package prep

Documents collected, forms filled from your data, and packages checked against the agency checklist before your licensed filer submits.

3

Renewal calendars

Licenses, insurance certificates, registrations, and agency accounts — every recurring date watched, nothing lapsing silently.

4

Violation & notice drafting

When a violation or notice lands, the cure paperwork is assembled and drafted, ready for your professional's review.

5

Agency inbox triage

Agency mail read and sorted as it arrives, deadlines pulled out and flagged, drafts prepared for your filer.

6

Monthly compliance report

One page a month: active permits, upcoming expirations, inspections, and open notices — alongside your owner report.

Included at the Portfolio tier; offered as a priced add-on to Starter and Growth clients, sized by active projects and jurisdictions at intake. Don't have a licensed filer? A licensed partner can be arranged through the desk — the partner is the filer of record, the partner's fee is a pass-through confirmed to you per project before filing, and the desk itself never files or stamps. Paperwork, tracking, and drafting only — no legal advice, and nothing is filed on a client's behalf.

Agents & brokers

Representing properties? You're a user too.

Real estate agents and brokers use the desk to keep the properties they represent organized — and every agent relationship is a door to the owners and managers behind those properties.

1

Add & maintain property details

Create and update profiles for the properties you represent — details, photos, documents, and notes — so the record is current before an owner ever asks.

2

Documents in one place

Leases, certificates, permits, and property documents stored against the profile, not scattered across email threads and drives.

3

A referral channel that helps your clients

When an owner you work with needs daily operations or compliance help, the desk is already holding their property record — introduce them, and the onboarding is half done.

Agents add property details and documents only — the desk provides back-office operations, not brokerage or listing services, and gives no legal advice. Client information stays private to each client and is never shared.

Estimating

Know the cost before you commit

Standalone estimating for owners and architects — no subscription required. Upload your drawings and a senior estimator prices the project by hand, from the drawings, using the material and labor costs of the state your project is in.

1
Upload drawings

Send your drawing set. A senior estimator reviews it first and confirms your fixed fee up front — inside the $200–$300 band, by set size.

2
We prepare it

Your estimate is prepared from a marked-up takeoff — quantities measured, priced carefully against current reference prices for your project's state.

3
Preview in slides

You receive a preview of the finished estimate in slides. No advance payment — you pay only after you've seen the preview.

4
Full package on payment

On payment: the marked-up takeoff PDF, the detailed estimate in CSI division format, and the assumptions & exclusions list.

$200–$300 per estimate: $200 for a simple or small drawing set, $250–$300 for a small 1–2 family home, $300 for larger owner or architect sets. Rush service +50%. Turnaround within 4–6 hours of confirmation. In a Permit Watch trial on the Permit Desk line? Your two weeks free includes one full estimate — one per trial.

How does the two weeks free work?

Sign up on this page and your two weeks free starts the moment you submit the form — no card required, nothing auto-charges, and no call is needed. Our team sets up your desk, and your login invite follows by email. On day 12 we send the subscription link so you can decide; if you don't subscribe, the trial simply ends.

What is a property profile — and what does “Add a property” mean?

A property profile is the single record for one property: address, property type, units, beds and baths, square footage, year built, photos, key documents such as leases, insurance certificates, and permits, and notes. Everything attaches to that profile — permit and compliance deadlines, inspection and violation status, maintenance history, and the rent and lease calendar — so one property has one record, and nothing lives in scattered texts and spreadsheets. “Add a property” is the first step inside the desk once you sign up.

Does Permit & Property Desk file permits or give legal advice?

No. The desk handles paperwork, tracking, and drafting only — it never files or stamps, and it gives no legal advice. Where the law requires a licensed professional to file, stamp, or appear, your licensed professional reviews and submits, with everything prepared for them. If you don't have a licensed filer, we can arrange a licensed partner through the desk: the partner is the filer of record, and the partner's fee is a pass-through confirmed to you before anything is filed.

What is the Permit Desk line?

Permit Desk is the permits & compliance service line of Permit & Property Desk, for architects and project owners, at yourpermitdesk.com. Permit Watch is $399/month, Permit Desk is $799/month, and Permit Desk + Filings is $1,199/month. There is a founding pilot at $299/month for 60 days, two weeks free on Permit Watch with no card required, and a free Permit Health Check.

How much does an estimate cost?

Estimating is $200–$300 per project with no subscription required, priced by drawing-set size: $200 for a simple or small set, $250–$300 for a small 1–2 family home, and $300 for larger owner or architect sets. Rush service is +50%. There is no advance payment: a senior estimator reviews your drawings and confirms the fixed fee up front, prepares the estimate, and sends a preview in slides — you pay after the preview, and the full package (marked-up takeoff PDF, detailed estimate in CSI division format, and assumptions & exclusions) is delivered on payment. Turnaround is within 4–6 hours of confirmation.

I'm a real estate agent or broker — can I use the desk?

Yes. Agents and brokers add and maintain property details and documents for the properties they represent, and every agent relationship is also a referral channel to the owners and managers behind those properties. The desk provides back-office operations only — no brokerage or listing services.

What is the Invoice Desk module?

Every plan includes our Invoice Desk module: owner and vendor invoice tracking, payment-reminder sequences, and aging reports — alongside the rent reminders that are already core to every property operations plan.
