Permitting,
Managed the Right Way.

Permitting is where projects lose time, momentum, and money—usually because no one fully owns the process.

Swift Permits exists to change that.

We act as an extension of your team, bringing structure and accountability to the permitting process across Southern California.

Our role is simple: we take ownership of permitting—from coordination to follow-through—so projects don’t stall or get derailed by City backlogs.

Because we work closely with local jurisdictions, we spot issues early, anticipate reviewer patterns, and help avoid unnecessary delays before they cost time and money.

Headquartered in San Diego, Swift Permits proudly serves the Southern California region. No matter where you are in the area, our dedicated team is ready to facilitate your permit acquisition with efficiency and expertise.

PERMIT SOLUTIONS

Full-Service Permit Management

We handle the entire permitting process from start to finish, including plan preparation, engineering coordination as needed, application submittals, plan check responses, and ongoing City follow-up through approval. This option is ideal for residential and commercial projects that require drawings and active management, and for clients who want one experienced team overseeing every detail from initial application to permit issuance.

DIGITAL SOLUTIONS

Drafting & Plan Preparation

At Swift Permits, we don’t just draft plans—we tailor them to exactly what your city wants to see. Our team knows the quirks, preferences, and red flags of every jurisdiction in Southern California, so your plans will sail through reviews as part of our streamlined permit expediting services.

Using up-to-date CAD software, our digital site plans and full plan sets are clear, code-compliant, and built for fast approvals. Whether you’re planning new construction, an addition, or a renovation, we make sure your project starts with the right foundation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a concrete contractor that used swift permits to help navigate the permit process. I worked with Ian S. and have nothing but positive feedback from his help. I dedicate all my time to my jobs so having a team like Ian and swift permits to handle the communication with the city is great. I’m going to continue to recommend them to my future projects. If you’re thinking of using swift don’t hesitate leave the stress to the professionals! Cheers!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Swift Permits saved me a ton of headaches. I worked with Dave to figure out which parts of a house were actually permitted. He broke it down fast: what’s good, what’s not, and gave me a clear plan to fix it. He is sper knowledgeable about the Oceanside rules, which made all the difference. He’s easy to talk to, personable, and knows this stuff cold. If you’re dealing with permits, Dave and Swift Permits are worth every penny.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a local pool contractor in San Diego and recently used Swift Permits for the first time on one of our new construction projects. Cities and counties could learn a lot about efficiency and communication from Dave and his team. They provided clear, consistent updates throughout the entire process as information came in from the city. Our project ended up taking much longer than expected (no fault of Swift Permits), but they stayed committed from start to finish and worked hard every step of the way. Highly recommend their services. Thanks again to Dave, Ian, Alyssa and the team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I didn’t end up formally engaging Swift Permits on this particular project due to timing and financing constraints, but my experience interacting with Dave and his team was excellent. They were responsive, transparent, and took the time to clearly explain the permitting process, realistic timelines, risks, and available options — without overselling or making promises they couldn’t stand behind. That level of candor and professionalism is rare and very much appreciated, especially when navigating complex City of San Diego permitting requirements. Even though this project ultimately wasn’t the right fit, the guidance I received helped me make a more informed decision and move forward with a clearer strategy. I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Swift Permits again on a future project where the scope and timing align. Highly recommend based on professionalism, communication, and expertise. — James

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an outstanding experience working with Swift Permits for my construction project in Carlsbad. As a homeowner with no knowledge of the permitting process, I was overwhelmed at first, but Dave at Swift Permits made everything clear and manageable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and responsive, guiding me through every step and helping me understand what was required. Thanks to Dave, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Swift Permits to anyone needing expert permit assistance.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was originally working with my engineer to get a permit for my retaining wall, but the city threw a bunch of extra stuff at me like surveys, and a second grading permit. The cost was insane and basically killed the whole project. A friend told me to call David Walz at Swift Permits, and I’m so glad I did. Somehow he got all that extra stuff waived, and I had my permit issued faster than I expected. Super thankful!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gotta hand it to Eric, David, and staff at Swift Permits.  Struggled with getting a pool built for over a year.  Had conflicting septic reports- one accurate and the other totally off.  Staff clarified with ease and viola, this and subsequent permits obtained in a timely manner.  Highly recommend.  Pool nearing completion.  Very satisfied.
