What You Get With Building Permit
Expeditor in California
The right permitting partner in California keeps applications complete, responses fast and schedules intact. Here is what that looks like in practice:
Built for California Departments
We file the way each department wants to receive it - the right forms, the right valuation basis, the right supporting documents, through the right portal.
Administrative Errors Caught Early
The majority of permit rejections are paperwork problems. Those are the preventable kind, and prevention happens before submittal.
Schedules That Hold
Reliable approval timing lets you schedule subs and deliveries with confidence instead of building slack around permitting risk.
Comment Routing
Technical comments go to your design professional; administrative ones we resolve ourselves. Either way the response package gets reassembled and resubmitted.
Budget Certainty
Quoted per permit, with the correction-cycle treatment stated up front rather than discovered on the invoice.
Full Lifecycle Coverage
Application, plan review, revisions, issuance and inspection scheduling - tracked in one place from start to finish.
About Alliance Permitting
With over 21 years in construction permitting, Alliance Permitting combines AI-assisted document review with permit technicians who file every day. We work as an extension of your team in California: preparing complete applications, calculating valuation the way each jurisdiction expects, paying the correct fees, and routing plan review comments to the right person the day they arrive. We do not perform plan review, inspections, engineering or construction - we handle the administrative work that sits between your drawings and an issued permit.
Know MoreOur Permit Services
in California
We file the permit types California contractors actually pull, across residential, commercial and specialty trade work.

Ground-up, tenant improvement and change-of-use projects, including the separate trade permits and multi-department routing that commercial work carries.
Solar Permit Expediting
Rooftop and ground-mount PV, battery storage, and the utility interconnection application that runs on its own track alongside the building permit.
Roofing & Re-Roof Permits
High-volume roofing permits filed and tracked at scale, with the product approvals and attachment details each jurisdiction requires.
Electrical, Mechanical & Plumbing Permits
Trade permits pulled separately from the building permit, each with its own application, fee calculation and inspection sequence.
How Our Permit Expediting Services in California Work
Four steps, and you are only involved in the first one.
Send Us the Project
Share the address, scope, plans and supporting documents. We identify the reviewing jurisdiction, confirm what it requires, and tell you what is missing before anything is filed.
Pre-Submission Review
Our system checks the package against that jurisdiction's submittal requirements while a permit technician reviews it for the things software cannot catch.
Filing and Tracking
We submit through the correct portal or counter, pay the jurisdiction's fees, and monitor the application's status rather than waiting for a notification.
Comments and Issuance
Correction notices are triaged the day they arrive, technical items routed to your design professional, responses reassembled and resubmitted until the permit issues.
Who We File For in California
Our building permit services support every trade that pulls a permit:
Keeping multiple permits moving across several jurisdictions at once, so crews and subs can be scheduled against dates that hold.
Production and custom builders filing repeatedly in the same California jurisdictions, where consistency and turnaround matter more than any single permit.
Multi-phase and multi-department approvals, where one late permit moves every downstream milestone and financing date.
Design professionals who need submittals to match their drawings exactly, and want plan review comments routed to them without delay.
Solar, roofing, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and window and door contractors, whose permits are high-volume and deadline-sensitive.

Frequently Asked Questions
We prepare, file, track and coordinate building permits across California - residential and commercial building permits plus the separate electrical, mechanical, plumbing, roofing and solar permits a job may carry. We do not perform plan review, inspections, engineering or construction.
Our service fee is separate from the jurisdiction's permit fees, which are set by its own published fee schedule and paid to it. What sets the service fee is how many jurisdictions are involved, how many permits the job carries, and how much documentation the scope requires. Tell us your trades, jurisdictions and volume and we will quote it properly.
We can make the filing better, which is a different thing. Review queues are worked in the order applications are received, and no fee paid to a service provider changes a jurisdiction's timeline or its decision. What a complete, correct package avoids is the time lost to correction cycles - which is usually where schedules are actually lost.
We file across California, including Los Angeles, the Bay Area, San Diego and the Central Valley. Requirements, fees and portal details for the jurisdictions we serve are published in our California permit guides.
Yes. We calculate the valuation the way the jurisdiction expects, confirm the figure against its current published schedule, and pay the fee on your behalf. Those fees belong to the jurisdiction and we do not mark them up.
