Example lookups: a Houston address goes to the Houston Permitting Center (permit required), a Richmond address to Fort Bend County (no permit required for residential plumbing repair and replacement), and a Los Angeles address to the City of Los Angeles (permit required).
Know who has jurisdiction before the job starts.
A ZIP code doesn't tell you who issues the permit. Two towns can share one, and city limits, county lines and unincorporated areas decide the answer. Permit Atlas resolves the address to the office that handles it. For residential plumbing, it also tells you whether the work needs a permit at all.
- Roughly 20,000 permitting jurisdictions
- One answer The office, phone and permit link, not a page of search results
- Verified Marked entries are personally confirmed by a licensed master plumber
Every contractor knows the routine: call the city, get transferred to the county, start over. I've done it for 21 years. Permit Atlas is the answer I always wanted, the right office and its number in seconds, built and researched independently by someone who pulls permits for a living.
One answer, three ways to get it.
