Permora: Every permit expiry and inspection date across your jobs, on one board and in your own calendar — bought once for the whole crew. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying PermitFlow every month.

Own Permora for $89 Try the live demo

Stop renting PermitFlow.

PermitFlow No public price - quote-gated (verified) Permora is $89 once, runs on your own server, and never invoices you again.

Why owning beats renting PermitFlow.

One payment

No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in PermitFlow's cloud.

No plan ceilings

Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.

It keeps working if the vendor doesn't

Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.

The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Permora vs renting comparison.

Questions about moving off PermitFlow.

Does Permora file permits with the city?
No — it tracks permits, from the date one has to be pulled by, through the inspections they require. It is not an e-permitting or filing system: it keeps the copies you attach, such as the permit PDF and the inspection report, and files nothing with the authority.
How reliable are the date alerts?
The date math is computed exactly in PHP, anchored to UTC midnights — the test suite covers leap years, month and year boundaries, and both DST transitions.
Does it handle permit fees?
Fees are recorded as exact integer cents for your records and reports — Permora never charges or collects money.
Will it run on shared hosting?
Yes — PHP 8.1+ with PDO, MySQL/MariaDB or SQLite, a 2-minute web installer, no Composer packages, no API keys.
