The research is yours for life. The app renews yearly. That's the whole model. Map access and the County Advisor are one-time, lifetime purchases — a fact about a county doesn't expire, so we don't charge you rent on it. PermitReady is different: it's a separate app, it lives outside this website, and it has to be re-checked against county forms and fees that change every year — so it carries an annual card. Browse the whole map and every grade for free; pay only when you want the sourced depth.
The map · the research
Browse free, pay only for the depth. Every county's letter grade is free forever — the sourced card behind it is the paid layer, one price, one time.
Today, with 1,000 counties carded, access is $49. The price rises as the map grows — $79 once we hit 1,500 counties. Buy in now and your price is locked for life, every future county included.
Not for sale yet — because it isn't finished. When it opens you'll buy it from a county: open the map, click the one you're serious about, and buy it there. It has to know which county it's advising you on.
The partial map is the honest reason to move: it's small and cheap right now. Early buyers are grandfathered at their price forever — the ladder only ever moves up, and only for people who wait.
Closes forever at 500
The map works today. The Advisor and PermitReady are coming. Founders get all of it — one flat price, forever.
Be clear-eyed about what this is. Full Map Access works today and is worth the $49 on its own. The Advisor and PermitReady are not finished, and they will be released in stages. We record every Founder, and you get each piece the day it lands — at no extra cost, forever, with the link sent to you directly. What we will not do is promise you a date we can't keep. If you'd rather only pay for what exists right now, buy Full Map Access instead. We would rather you did that than feel misled.

The build-it tool
A separate app — it lives outside this website — that fills your county's real permit forms, sequences them in the right order, and flags what gets people rejected. This is the one thing that renews yearly, and it's the only honest way to sell it: counties revise their forms and fees constantly, and a permit pack built on last year's paperwork is worse than useless — it gets you rejected. Keeping it current is ongoing work, so it carries an annual card. The split is simple: three projects a year on your own land, or unlimited projects for clients.
For building on your own land. Three projects a year. Renew for three more.
Stop renewing and you keep everything you made. Your filled forms export forever, renewed or not. What lapses is the updating — new county forms, changed fees, new checks. You're renting the maintenance, never the work you did.
Opens after launchFor client work. Commercial use, unlimited projects every year.
Early local seats lock a founding pro rate for life. First trades in on the ground help set the number.

We won't pretend to have verified all 3,000-plus counties. We build them where people actually want them. If the county you care about isn't done yet, you can request it — and the request itself is a signal that keeps the map growing where it matters. Founders' counties compile first.
No payment, no obligation. You're voting, not buying — and the queue really is built in the order people ask.
Founders
Founders pay once, come first, and get lifetime upgrades — capped at 100. Join the list and we'll email you the numbers and the date before anyone else.
No spam. One email when it's ready, plus the occasional new-county note.
Founders — the fine print
We'd rather spell this out now than have you feel misled later. Founders get every county we ever publish and every County Advisor — for as long as this product exists, with no further charge, no subscription, and no price steps. On top of that you get PermitReady's owner tier free for life, with the three-project limit removed — unlimited builds on your own land, and you never see the annual card that everyone else does. That's the deal, and we intend to keep it.
Founders is capped at 100 and then closes for good. The counter is real — it counts actual sales, not a marketing number.
Refunds
Map Access and Founders: if you open the map and it isn't what you expected, email us and we'll refund you. No form, no hoops. The access closes when the refund goes through — that's the trade, and it's a fair one.
The County Advisor is different, and we'd rather say so plainly than surprise you. It isn't a thing you hold — it's an answer you receive. Once you've opened your county and read what its code actually says for the build you're planning, you have the thing you paid for. We can't un-tell you. So the Advisor is refundable before you open it, and not after.
That's $19.99, and it buys that county completely — the full sourced card as well as the reasoning. If you want to know whether the research is any good before you spend it, don't. Open the free map first — 5 counties are fully unlocked, and every county in the country carries a free letter grade. Look at those, then decide.
Regulations change and we get things wrong. When we do, we fix it in public and log the correction — you can read how we verify and every correction we've made. If a card is wrong, we want to hear it more than we want your $49.
