Document review
Rule Verifier
Permit Nav reads the municipal record itself: hundreds of bylaws, checklists, forms, and bulletins, distilled into verified rules that every answer traces back to.
Authoritative source library
Bylaws, application checklists, forms, and bulletins from Metro Vancouver municipalities, alongside the BC Building Code.
AI extraction, human verification
Setbacks, heights, and coverage limits are read from each bylaw, and no number drives a verdict until a person confirms it against the source.
Confidence-graded review
Every extracted value carries a confidence grade, so human review lands first where the source is least clear.
Traceable answers
Every rule links back to the exact municipal document it came from, so applicants and staff see the city’s own words, not a paraphrase.
