Prepare contractor permit forms in the original PDF
A contractor preparing a permit package needs consistent project information across the application and supporting documents. PaperPorter helps with entering answers into approved city forms. Use the browser preview or a compatible assistant, then check the generated original PDF before it becomes part of your submission.
Check project and responsible-party details
Read each label to distinguish the property owner, applicant, contractor, and contact person. Use the license and contact details requested by the issuer, and verify them with the responsible person. Keep the job-site address and scope consistent with the plans. Do not assume that the contact from a previous project belongs on the current application.
Choose a supported application
The catalog contains published, human-reviewed forms. Forms awaiting review are not available for browser or MCP filling. Only the administrator adds new PDFs and edits their mappings. Check the original source and the issuing office’s instructions before using a saved copy. The same approved version serves the public browser and assistant workflows.
Keep review and submission separate
Validate the mapped questions and inspect every page of the downloaded document. Complete signatures and attachments using the issuer’s instructions. PaperPorter does not verify licenses, certify technical facts, prepare plans, submit the package, or guarantee approval. Ask the permit office about current fees and timelines rather than inferring them from the form.
Current account and data behavior
Manual answers stay in the browser page and should be downloaded before you leave. Assistant applications require OAuth and are saved to the signed-in user. The product does not currently offer client intake links, team access, saved company profiles, or automatic reuse across projects. Use accurate information for each selected application and keep your own project records.
