Permit Navigator

Starting a project in Philadelphia, whether it’s new construction, a new business, or home improvements, can feel overwhelming. Through community outreach and feedback, SmartCities team and its partners identified an opportunity to make the permitting process easier to understand and navigate. In 2023, Smart Cities team (just me at that time) introduced a pilot version of the Permit Navigator. This tool was created to simplify the early planning and scoping stages of a project. Today, the expanded Permit Navigator covers all 190 property-related requirements in Philadelphia.
