Do any of you use permit services?

Pros and Cons?

We have a customer that is offering a free trip to the permit office for you if you want to give it a try.

Nope

I used Netclerk when they first came out but it was not a smooth operation. Now you can pull permits online if you like which rather eliminates any need for a service. Of course, if there is anything unusual about the job you have to go in and pull them in person anyway.

OS, you're missing the basics on this. All they do is what you authorize them to do, which means you can designate them as your agent to go sit in the chair and wait for the permit technician to complete the paperwork. They're not authorized to make any decisions regarding your operations.

Sorry guys - got a little busy.

Permit services are just like they sound. I know that they have been around in California for almost 20 years. There are companies that go and pull permits and business licenses for you for a fee. We have a new advertiser that is offering these services nationally and I was just wondering if you use these kind of services and if you find them useful. I am surprised that you have never heard of them.
