Track building permit status changes across Accela portals
**Stop checking permits one tab at a time.**
PermitFlag is a Chrome extension for residential construction project managers who track active permits across Accela municipal portals. Instead of opening 20–40 permit pages every morning, PermitFlag does it for you in under 90 seconds.
**How it works:**
1. Navigate to any permit detail page on an Accela portal
2. Click "+ Add" to save it to PermitFlag
3. Click "Check All" — PermitFlag opens each saved permit in the background, reads the status, and closes it
4. See exactly what changed: "Under Review → Issued"
**Features:**
• Check All — scans all saved permits with one click, no manual tab-switching
• Change detection — highlights permits that changed status since your last check
• Status badges — color-coded: green (Issued/Approved), yellow (Under Review), red (Expired/Denied)
• Unified permit list — all your permits in one place, changed permits sorted to the top
• Add by URL — paste any Accela permit URL to track it manually
• Auto-detect — shows "Add This Permit" when you're already on an Accela permit page
**Supports Accela portals across 300+ US cities and counties**, including Arlington VA, Indianapolis IN, Oakland CA, Seattle WA, Washington DC, San Diego County, Sacramento County, and many more.
**Privacy:** All permit data stays in your browser. No servers, no accounts, no data collection. Storage is 100% local to your Chrome profile.
**Free trial:** 14 days, all features included, no credit card required. After the trial, $19/month or $149/year unlocks unlimited permits.
