What This Adds Beyond Current PermitSF

The current city PermitSF portal is the official system of record. This demo shows the broader front door residents and staff are asking for: find, understand, prepare, track, and see exactly what still needs city access.

Rapid public-source prototype
244 Broader normalized catalog Deduped workflows across agencies, including services, public portal categories, and source-backed permit paths beyond the first rollout groups.
Chat Resident-first permit finder Plain-language matching, section filters, agency filters, quick searches, official links, and dynamic checklists in one place.
0 / 0 Live plus demo modules Working catalog, AI matcher, intake, workspace, status routing, uploads, fees, plan review, staff queue, inspections, security, and feedback triage.
0 Honest production map Each feature is labeled as done, demo, or access-needed so the city can see the next API, data, security, and platform decisions.

Built quickly, ready to keep working with the City

This was built as a rapid Cloudflare Worker and Hono prototype from public sources. The next step is to work with PermitSF on OpenGov, Accela/PPTS, DBI PTS, Fire systems, identity, payments, GIS, Bluebeam, Snowflake/UDP, 311, and security approvals so the demo pieces can become official production workflows.

Working Demo Lab

Run the demo modules here first. They work without city credentials and clearly label where production APIs are still needed.

No city login required

Ready.

Status Router

Routes a permit or selected workflow to the official public status tool.

Select a workflow or search first.
