Permits.com is an independent company that provides permit-related services for Boxvana customers to navigate the challenges associated with ADU permits and research.
Knowing if the Boxvana you have chosen can be placed on your lot is important. Unfortunately, building departments and areas having jurisdiction (AHJ) are understaffed and overwhelmed like never before. This leads to incomplete information and delays.
You Are In Good Hands

Permits.com partners with manufacturers and builders to provide zoning and code research for residential and light-commercial requests related to tiny homes, ADUs, cottages, grow houses, and single-family homes in the US, Puerto Rico, and Guam.
How long does it take to complete a report?
The current lead times are averaging between three and four weeks. Included in this is the time to research zoning and code requirements for the property with the municipality and or areas having jurisdiction (AHJ) and prepare a report.
What is included in a report that is approved?
We cite zoning ordinances and building codes that are relevant to property setbacks, local design standards, size and height limitations, density and saturation limits, foundation, roofing, parking, electrical, plumbing, and septic requirements.
What is included in a report that is not approved?
We cite zoning ordinances and code restrictions that are relevant to the property. If a municipality has nothing to cite, we provide the names of the people with whom we have confirmed our findings and methods used to record their responses.
Can I get a refund on code research requests?
In short, no. We are similar to a surveyor that is hired to determine a property line. If the surveyor determines a property line is not where you thought it was and you are not able to do what you wanted, the surveyor still did their job. The same is true for us.
How long is a report guaranteed for?
Reports are guaranteed for the date they are delivered. There is no way of knowing if a municipality has made any changes. As a result, no guarantee is made beyond the date on which a report has been presented to our customer.
