Know what you are signing. An owner-builder permit makes you — not a licensed contractor — responsible for the work, for code compliance and for anyone you pay to help. Several states restrict it to your own primary residence, cap the job value, or bar a sale for 12 months. We generate the paperwork; we are not your attorney and this is not legal advice.
Homeowner permit questions
- Can a homeowner pull their own building permit?
- In most states, yes — on a home you own and live in. It is called an owner-builder permit. You typically sign a sworn owner-builder disclosure statement accepting responsibility for the work, code compliance and any workers you hire. Rules vary: some states cap the job value, some bar you from selling the home for a year, and some require the affidavit to be notarized.
- What is included in the Homeowner Permit Pass?
- Three generated documents, valid for 30 days: your county's permit application, the owner-builder affidavit or disclosure for your state, and any supporting form the job needs — scope of work, contractor/sub list, or a lead-safe RRP record on a pre-1978 home.
- Is this a subscription?
- No. It is a one-time $39 charge. Nothing renews and there is no card on file after the purchase.
- Do you file the permit for me?
- Not today. The pass produces a complete, print-ready packet that you sign and submit to your building department — in person, by mail or through their online portal.
- What if my county rejects something?
- Email help@rapidpermitsystems.com with the rejection notice. We will regenerate the packet at no extra cost, and refund the pass within 14 days if we cannot get you a submittable set.
