Discover permits you didn't know about.

Most permit tracking tools only monitor what you manually add. Plotwise goes further with Portfolio and Radar — auto-discovery features that surface new permits matching your saved conditions.

  • Portfolio tracks permits from your regular contractors and subcontractors — new filings appear automatically.
  • Radar discovers permits near your active projects, surfacing nearby work you should know about.
  • Both features run continuously across all supported jurisdictions with zero manual effort.
  • Set up once with company names, license numbers, or locations — Plotwise handles the rest.
