What Is A Notary Permit Runner?

What is a Permit Runner?

Perhaps an oversimplification would be any mobile notary who will pull permit applications for a contractor. While most large builders & General Contractors usually staff a notary for just this occasion many smaller outfits don’t.

Often time these contractors find chasing down permits at the local city hall to be a waste of precious time. This is where a permit runner comes in. They can take your signed (and notarized) application to the local permit office, pay any applicable fees & return you the permit.

Some municipalities may require the permit puller to have a POA ( power of attorney) on behalf of the contractor. This is where a notary service that offers legal document prep will also be useful, as they can draft that as well.

Here are some examples of services that may require permit notarization (and pulling/running):

Pools, Porches, Decks, Roofing, Shutters, Window replacements, Fences, Security systems, A/C install, Patios, Siding, Standby generators, just to name a few!

In closing if you need a permit application notarized on site, we can help. If you would like us to run it to the permit office, we can do that too!
