Our Mission
We Built This for Oklahoma City Businesses
Oklahoma City is growing fast. New housing, commercial development, and infrastructure projects are everywhere — and the contractors, builders, and property owners driving that growth shouldn't be spending their time navigating permit paperwork.
Sanaf AI Solutions is an OKC-based company. We built Permitly because we watched too many local contractors, remodelers, and homeowners lose thousands of dollars to preventable permit rejections and compliance surprises. Our goal is simple: every Oklahoma City project should walk into Development Services prepared.
The OKC Permit Process Is Costing Contractors Real Money
Permit problems are one of the top three reasons construction projects go over budget. Most of them are preventable.
The Rejection Spiral
You submit a permit application after hours of paperwork. Two weeks later: rejected. Missing a signature page, wrong form version, undeclared work scope. Start over. Another two weeks. Meanwhile your crew is idle and the client is furious. Each rejection cycle costs you $2,000–$8,000 in project delays.
The Paperwork Tax
OKC requires separate permits for building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and more — each with its own form, its own fee, its own checklist. A single residential addition can require 4–6 permits. Most contractors spend a full two days per project just figuring out what to file.
The Stop-Work Order
Building without the right permits is a $500–$2,000 fine per violation in OKC — plus a mandatory stop-work order while you scramble to get retroactive permits, which are more expensive and harder to get. One missed permit can wipe out the entire margin on a project.
The Calendar Slip
Most permits take 5–15 business days in OKC when filed correctly. But when applications have missing information, wrong zoning references, or incomplete scope descriptions, they go into revision cycles that stretch to 6+ weeks. That slips your entire project schedule — and every project behind it.
How Permitly Protects Your OKC Projects
Not just faster paperwork — real protection against the delays, fines, and rejection cycles that eat contractor margins.
Know Exactly What You Need — Before You Start
Describe your Oklahoma City project and Permitly cross-references OKC's full permit requirement database, municipal code, and zoning classifications — from Bricktown infill to Deep Deuce renovations to new builds in Edmond-adjacent neighborhoods. You get a precise list of every required permit — building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, fire suppression — before you touch a form.
Catch Compliance Problems Before the City Does
Permitly scans your project description for the Oklahoma City compliance pitfalls that cause rejections — setback violations, historical district triggers in places like Heritage Hills, commercial vs. residential classification mismatches, and scope language OKC Development Services routinely flags. Issues caught before submission cost 10 minutes to fix. Issues caught after cost 3 weeks.
Walk into OKC Development Services Ready
Permitly generates a pre-filled permit application packet — applicant info, project address, scope of work, estimated value, contractor details — formatted to OKC Development Services' requirements. Download your PDF packet, review it, and submit to 420 W Main St. What took a half-day of form-filling now takes 15 minutes.
Your Readiness Score Tells You If You're Ready to Submit
Before you spend $200–$1,500 on permit fees, get a 0–100 Readiness Score that tells you exactly how prepared your application is. A score below 70 means there are gaps to fix. A score above 85 means you're in strong shape. Stop submitting applications you're not ready to submit.
From Project Description to Application Packet in 3 Minutes
Describe Your Project
Enter your project type, location within Oklahoma City (405 area code projects only), and a description of the scope — addition, new build, renovation, commercial tenant improvement, or any other OKC project type. Upload your blueprints, site plans, or permit documents (PDF, DOCX, PNG, JPG) — Permitly’s AI reads them alongside your project description for a more accurate analysis.
No industry jargon required. Plain English works. "Adding a 400 sq ft room to the back of a residential home at [OKC address]" is enough for Permitly to work with.
Permitly Analyzes OKC Requirements
Permitly cross-references Oklahoma City's Municipal Code, OKC's current permit fee schedule, zoning ordinances, and Development Services' current application requirements to identify every permit and flag every potential compliance concern.
In under 3 minutes you have a complete permit list, compliance issues identified, missing information surfaced, and your readiness score — work that previously took a full afternoon.

Plan Pre-Check
Catch the Problems Before You Submit
Most rejections happen because of issues you could have caught yourself — if you knew what to look for. Setback violations, missing egress windows, lot coverage overages, unlicensed contractor references. Permitly runs a structured rule check against your project description and flags every violation before you pay a fee.
Dimensional check: setbacks, height, lot coverage, floor area ratio
Document check: site plans, structural calcs, Manual J, energy compliance
Licensing check: contractor license validity, trade match, expiration
Flood zone check: SFHA determination and floodplain permit requirements

Questions From OKC Contractors & Homeowners
“Is Permitly actually accurate for Oklahoma City?”
Yes. Permitly is built specifically for Oklahoma City's permit system — not a generic nationwide tool. It's trained on OKC's Municipal Code, current permit type definitions from OKC Development Services, OKC's zoning ordinances, and the specific form requirements for each permit type. We maintain a live regulation database that is updated as OKC's requirements change. However: Permitly is an AI-powered guide, not a licensed permit expediter. Always verify final requirements with OKC Development Services at (405) 297-2535 before submitting.
“Can Permitly replace my permit expediter?”
Permitly dramatically reduces the work your expediter needs to do — and eliminates the need for one on simpler residential and light commercial OKC projects. For complex commercial projects, high-value new construction, or projects with unusual zoning issues, we recommend still using a professional expediter. Think of Permitly as doing the 80% that doesn't require human expertise — so your expediter can focus on the 20% that does.
“What types of projects does Permitly cover?”
All common Oklahoma permit types in every supported city: new residential construction, residential additions and remodels, accessory structures (garages, sheds, pools), commercial new construction, commercial tenant improvements, electrical, plumbing, mechanical/HVAC, demolition, sign permits, and fence permits. We cover residential and commercial projects in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Edmond, Norman, and Moore — from Bricktown and Brookside to Oak Tree, Campus Corner, and post-tornado Moore rebuilds.
“Can Permitly catch plan violations before I submit?”
Yes. The Plan Pre-Check feature runs your project description through a structured rule engine that checks setbacks, height limits, lot coverage, flood zone requirements, egress compliance, and contractor licensing — all before you pay a permit fee. It's like having a plan reviewer look at your project before you walk into the city.
“How does the Permit Tracker help me manage multiple projects?”
The Permit Tracker lets you log every permit application across all five cities, track its status (draft, submitted, under review, approved, rejected), and manage inspection checklists per permit. Combined with the Portfolio Dashboard, you get a single view of all your active projects, analyses, and estimated fees — no more digging through five different city portals.
“Can I verify my subcontractors' licenses?”
Yes. Permitly includes Oklahoma Construction Industries Board (OCIB) license verification. Search by contractor name or license number to see status (active, expired, suspended), trade, expiration date, and issuing history. One expired license can halt your entire project — verify before you sign the sub.
“Does Permitly alert me when building codes change?”
Yes. The Regulatory Change Alerts feature monitors building codes, zoning rules, and fee schedules across all five supported cities. When a regulation affecting your projects changes, you get an alert with a summary of what changed and which of your open projects might be affected.
“What if my project description isn't detailed enough?”
The AI will tell you exactly what information is missing. The "Missing Information" section of every analysis specifically calls out the details needed to complete an accurate assessment — square footage, construction type, zoning classification, project valuation, etc. You can update your description and rerun the analysis until you have a high confidence readiness score.
“Which Oklahoma cities does Permitly support?”
Permitly is live in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Edmond, Norman, and Moore. Each city is built out individually — we train Permitly on that city's Municipal Code, permit portal, fee schedule, zoning ordinance, and the specific form quirks that cause rejections there. OKC handles Historic Preservation districts (Heritage Hills, Mesta Park) and Bricktown infill. Tulsa adds Historic Preservation overlay + Muscogee (Creek) Nation tribal considerations. Edmond covers PUD overlays and the UCO district. Norman handles ETJ (extraterritorial jurisdiction) and the dual-portal Click2Gov + CityView workflow. Moore covers post-2013 EF5 tornado rebuild rules and safe-room requirements. More Oklahoma cities are coming based on demand.
Always Verify With the City
Permitly is AI-powered guidance — not a legal determination or official city ruling. Use it to prepare, research, and de-risk your permit applications. Before submitting, always confirm current requirements with the jurisdiction issuing your permit: OKC Development Services (405) 297-2535, Tulsa Permit Center (918) 596-9456, Edmond PLL (405) 359-4780, Norman Development Services (405) 366-5382, or Moore Community Development (405) 793-5053.
