Frequently asked questions

Does the setback checker guarantee permit approval?

No. It helps contractors find common conflicts and organize documentation, but the local authority decides approval.

What happens when a county rule is missing?

The app should show that the regulation needs verification so the contractor does not submit with false confidence.
