Permit or no permit?
Know before you quote.
Type the municipality, the height, and a couple of toggles — front yard, corner lot, pool — and Permit Check grades the fence against state code and local ordinance: permit or not, the typical fee, and the gotchas, before the quote goes out. Wisconsin first; more states on the way.

How it works
From address to answer in seconds.
Step 01
Describe the fence
Municipality or address, fence height, and the three toggles that change the rules: front-yard fence, corner lot, pool enclosure.
Step 02
Get the verdict
A pass/warn checklist in seconds: height vs the local max, whether a permit is required, the typical fee, and vision-triangle or pool-barrier flags.
Step 03
Quote it right the first time
Add the permit fee to the estimate as a pass-through line and set expectations on timing — no surprise call two days before install.
What it means for your business
4 ways it puts money in your pocket.
No mid-job stop-work surprises
A 6-foot fence that's fine in the rear yard can be an ordinance violation out front. Catching it before the quote saves a re-pull, a rebuild, and an unhappy customer.
CATCH IT BEFORE YOU DIGThe fee goes on the quote, not on you
Green Bay wants ~$50, Milwaukee $75 — Permit Check surfaces the fee so it lands on the estimate as a pass-through instead of coming out of your margin.
MARGIN PROTECTEDCorner lots & pools, flagged
The vision-triangle rule near intersections and pool-barrier requirements are exactly the rules that bite. Flip the toggle and they're applied automatically.
THE GOTCHAS, CAUGHTAn answer while they're still on the phone
"Do I need a permit?" gets a real answer in seconds — which makes you sound like the contractor who's pulled a hundred of them. Because you have.

Built for how you work
However you run your shop.
SOLO CONTRACTOR
Skip the city-hall phone tree
Stop burning an afternoon confirming a height rule. Check it, quote it, move on — and call the county only when something's genuinely unusual.
MULTI-CREW OWNER
Every estimator quotes the same rules
The whole team checks against the same encoded ordinances, so nobody quotes an 8-footer the township will never approve.
HIGH-VOLUME / ONLINE
Fewer dead deals downstream
Permit surprises kill signed jobs. Screening at quote time keeps the pipeline honest and the install calendar real.
Questions
About permit check.
A Wisconsin statewide baseline plus encoded local rules for Green Bay, Hobart, Madison, Milwaukee, and Appleton — with real fee ranges. Outside Wisconsin it tells you honestly that you're out of coverage and to verify locally. More states are coming — the coverage page shows what is live.
No — it's a fast first check built from published codes and ordinances, and it's in beta: always confirm with the local jurisdiction before install. The point is catching the obvious problems before the quote, not replacing the permit office.
Height limits by yard (front vs rear/side), whether a permit is required and the typical fee, corner-lot vision triangles, and pool-barrier requirements when the fence encloses a pool.
