About

Navigate municipal building, fire, and zoning codes without the bureaucratic maze. Describe your project in plain language.

Features

Before you go to the permit office

"I want to add a deck to my house." "I'm converting my garage to an ADU." "Can I put a food truck in this parking lot?" Describe what you're trying to do, and understand what permits, inspections, and codes apply — before you waste a trip or hire the wrong contractor.

The hotline knows your jurisdiction's specific requirements. Not generic advice — actual local code.

Decode the jargon

Setbacks. Egress. R-value. FAR. Code language is designed for professionals, not people trying to improve their homes. Ask what anything means, in context of your project, and get a straight answer.

Track your project

Call back as your project evolves. The hotline remembers what you're building, what approvals you need, and what's next. When the inspector flags something, call to understand what it means and how to fix it.
