An AI permit department
Filing a permit takes thirty seconds. The hard part is everything after — the failed re-inspection, the plan correction, the second-round revision, the jurisdictional form that changes mid-flight, the long quiet push to certificate of occupancy. Loopback stays for the part most tools leave behind.

How it compares
Most permit software bills per pull — so the economics stop being on your side the moment a correction lands. Loopback is one flat monthly seat. The work the office manager does after filing is the work the agent takes over.
File-and-leave competitors
Tools that bill per permit get paid when you file — and stop being paid when a correction lands. A failed re-inspection is a free fix the vendor is not motivated to make.
A dashboard that monitors the public permit portal hands the queue poll back to your office manager. They refresh it four times a day and read no movement each time.
When the plan reviewer goes quiet for ten days, your office manager leaves a voicemail that may or may not come back. The case cools while the job is half-built.
Loopback
One flat monthly seat per company — corrections, re-inspections, second-round revisions, and the long jurisdictional back-and-forth. All in.
Loopback polls where the portal exposes an API and drives headlessly where it does not. Your office manager stops refreshing and stops voicemailing.
A case is not closed when the permit is issued. Loopback carries it through plan corrections, re-inspection failures, jurisdictional form drift, and signs off to CO.
How it stays on the job
Loopback holds the next action on every open case — re-submit on a failed inspection, re-file on a plan correction, escalate when the inspector’s office has gone quiet. The agent never sets the cursor back to you; it stays on the case until the case is closed.
You see the cursor at /projects: every open correction, every resubmitted packet, every stalled queue — with a chronological record of what the agent did while you ran the rest of the business.
awaiting resubmission
Failed inspection on Lot 14 — corrected packet queued for re-inspection.
Inspector J. Reyes responded within 38 minutes. The corrected packet is auto-attached to the same project — your office manager did not re-key a form, did not call the building department, did not wait on hold.
Re-submit on failed inspection
A red tag came back from the inspector — the corrected packet is reassembled and queued for re-inspection without the office manager re-keying a field.
Re-file on plan correction
Plan reviewer marked up a sheet — new packets are generated from the original CRM data and pushed back to the portal under the same project.
Escalate on stalled queue
No movement on the case for 24 hours — the agent pings the inspector’s office, escalates the revision, and logs the response so the office manager sees what happened.
Start
Pick the municipality, the trade, paste the scope notes a foreman sends in on the way to the jobsite. Loopback renders the city-specific application packet — right forms, right attachments, right fees — and stays on the case for the part that takes weeks.
