See the lot the way the reviewer will.
Permitech pulls the county's parcel lines, the town's zoning map, flood status and boundary lines into one map of your lot. From the address, it works out which building department and which other offices issue your permits.

Step 01 of 05
The address lands on the county's parcel lines.
How it works
From the first step to the last
Enter the address
Permitech places it on the map and matches it to the city, village, township, or county boundaries that cover it.
Find who issues the permit
A city or village comes first, then a linked township, then the county. Unincorporated places route to the office that actually issues permits, with a note saying so. Addresses close to a boundary line carry a warning to double-check.
Load the parcel
The county's parcel outline loads with its official parcel number and lot area, where the county publishes them.
Check the conditions
Turn on zoning, easements, and city and county lines, measure distances, and see the FEMA flood status. A gap in FEMA data shows as unknown, never as outside a flood zone.
Send it to Site Plan Studio
One click sends the current view to Site Plan Studio, already calibrated, so the drawing starts from the same lot.
What you see
On the map today
Parcels
County parcel lines, with the official parcel number and lot area where the county publishes them.
Zoning
The zoning district your lot sits in.
Easements
Public GIS screening for recorded easements.
City, township and county lines
So you can see when an address sits near a boundary.
Flood status
FEMA flood status, with data gaps shown as unknown.
Approval offices
Separate offices for zoning, electrical, plumbing, health, stormwater, fire, right of way and more, when the sources name one.
Plainly
What the map is not
- It is a GIS reference, not a survey. County parcel lines can sit off the true boundary; a plat of survey decides where the line is.
- Easement layers are public GIS screening only, not title or survey evidence.
- Flood status is not a site survey.
- Parcels and zoning appear where the county or town publishes them. Building departments resolve today in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana.
