About the city permit fee

The city's own permit fee (typically $135–$744 in DFW depending on jurisdiction and system size) is collected and passed through to the city at cost — we never mark it up. You'll see it as a separate, transparent line item on your invoice.

Pay only when your permit is filed. No subscriptions, no setup fees, no minimums.

FAQ

Cheap permit pricing, answered.

What is the cheapest solar permit service in Texas?+

PermitsDone is the cheapest full-service residential solar permit option in Dallas–Fort Worth at $1,099 per permit for systems up to 10 kW, including a Texas-licensed PE stamp and filing. The closest competitors charge $1,550–$3,200 for the same scope. The only services cheaper are plan-set-only shops (around $320), but those don't include filing or status tracking.

How much does the cheapest roofing permit service cost in Dallas–Fort Worth?+

PermitsDone charges $249 flat per residential roofing permit in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Tarrant County. Local Texas permit runners typically charge $300–$600. We're the lowest-priced full-service option for residential re-roofs in DFW.

Why is PermitsDone cheaper than other permit expediters?+

Because we use AI to handle intake, drafting, pre-flight checks, and city portal interactions — work that traditional permit expediters do manually with $75–$200/hour staff. We pass those savings on as the lowest permit pricing in Texas.

What does the flat fee cover? Are there hidden costs?+

The flat fee covers everything from intake through city submission, including unlimited revisions if the city kicks back the packet. The only separate item is the city's own permit fee (typically $135–$744 in DFW), which we collect and pass through at cost — with no markup.

What happens if the city rejects the permit?+

We revise and resubmit at no extra charge. Our pre-flight agent is tuned on real Dallas–Fort Worth rejection patterns, so this is rare — but when it happens, you don't pay twice.

Are there setup fees or minimums?+

No. You pay per permit. No subscription, no minimum monthly volume, no onboarding fee — which is why we're consistently the cheapest option for low-volume contractors.

Do you offer volume discounts on cheap permit pricing?+

Yes. If you're filing 10+ permits a month, email us and we'll quote a volume rate that goes even lower. Net-30 invoicing available for high-volume accounts.

What if I'm not in Dallas, Fort Worth, or Tarrant County?+

We add Texas jurisdictions monthly. Email us with your city — if you're a high-volume contractor, we'll prioritize.
