Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Permits.com was operated by FIELDVINE, INC., a Delaware corporation, in two forms: as a technology platform and, separately, as a national permit-expediter service addressing construction permitting. The permits.com domain has been in continuous commercial use by FIELDVINE since 2018, following an original registration of the name in 1996.

The permit-expediter service associated with the brand transferred to another party in September 2024. In July 2026 FIELDVINE filed a Certificate of Dissolution with the State of Delaware, which was accepted; under Delaware General Corporation Law § 278 the corporation continues for three years for the limited purpose of winding up, including the sale of remaining property. The permits.com site now presents a domain portfolio for sale rather than an operating product.

Business model

FIELDVINE ran Permits.com as a technology platform and, as a separate line, as a national permit-expediter service. Following the September 2024 transfer of the expediter service and the July 2026 dissolution filing, remaining activity consists of the sale of corporate assets — specifically a 79-name construction-permit domain portfolio offered either as a single portfolio acquisition priced at $325,000 or as individual names at published retail bands of $12,000–$16,000 for core exact matches, $6,000–$9,500 for strong trade/process names and $3,000–$5,500 for standard names. Closings run through Escrow.com Concierge at a 3.0% fee split equally between buyer and seller, with a target transfer of three business days after funds clear.

Latest developments

The national permit-expediter service associated with the brand transferred in September 2024. U.S. federal trademark Registration No. 5,992,884 for PERMITS.COM was cancelled in October 2024 following a TTAB proceeding, and no live federal registration conveys with the asset sale. In July 2026 FIELDVINE filed an accepted Certificate of Dissolution in Delaware and is offering permits.com together with 78 related construction-permit domain names as a single category asset for $325,000, with assets sold as-is, where-is.

▸Full profile — technology, go-to-market, geography, risks & controversies

Technology

FIELDVINE operated Permits.com as a technology platform in the construction-permitting category. Software, source code and data are excluded from the current domain-portfolio sale.

Go-to-market

The construction-permit domain portfolio is positioned toward permit SaaS providers, permit-expediting firms, national trade platforms and lead-generation businesses. The former expediter service addressed permitting across six trades: electrical, plumbing, solar, roofing, mechanical and zoning.

Geography

The permit-expediter service operated at national scale in the United States; FIELDVINE, INC. is incorporated in Delaware.

Risks & controversies

The PERMITS.COM U.S. federal trademark registration (No. 5,992,884) was cancelled in October 2024 after a TTAB proceeding, and the seller advises buyers to conduct their own trademark and use-clearance review. FIELDVINE, INC. is in dissolution and conveys assets as-is, where-is with representations limited to ownership and authority to convey.
