Frequently Asked Questions
The essentials about access, billing, findings, and reports.
Is there a free trial?
There is no automatic public trial. The first 50 participants entering through the public Reddit Contractor Pilot link receive 14 days of Professional access automatically, with no code required. Stripe collects a card, shows the first $199 charge date, and charges nothing when canceled before the trial ends.
What is the Founding Operator offer?
The first 10 organizations can purchase a $4,999 one-time Founding Operator license for core service access. It is non-transferable, limited to one organization, subject to reasonable use, and excludes third-party usage costs, premium services, consulting, and enterprise customization.
What does the $199 plan include?
The Professional plan is $199 per month and is designed for ongoing permit intelligence, evidence organization, deadline visibility, and report generation. The pricing page shows the current plan details before checkout.
Can I cancel?
Yes. You can cancel future monthly renewal. Your access and any refund eligibility follow the billing terms and Refund and Cancellation Policy.
Does Permit Sheriff guarantee permit approval?
No. Permit Sheriff supports research, evidence, workflow, and reporting. Government agencies and other authorities make final decisions, and users should verify findings before relying on them.
How are payments handled?
Checkout is securely hosted by Stripe. Permit Sheriff receives billing status and transaction identifiers but does not store full card numbers.
Can I generate reports?
Yes. The Reports area turns project findings into review-ready outputs. Always verify generated content before filing or sharing it externally.
