AI Disclaimer

Effective Date: April 7, 2026

1. Nature of AI-Generated Reports

Reports generated by PermitPrep.AI are produced by artificial intelligence models that analyze uploaded architectural drawings against databases of building codes. These reports are intended as preliminary decision-support tools to help identify potential compliance issues before formal submission to permitting authorities.

2. Reports Are NOT

• Official permit approvals or denials
• Professional engineering opinions or certifications
• Substitutes for review by a licensed architect or engineer
• Guaranteed to identify all code violations or compliance issues
• Legal opinions on code applicability

3. Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)

All final determinations regarding building code compliance are made exclusively by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) — typically the local building department or code enforcement office. Users must submit plans to their AHJ for official review regardless of PermitPrep.AI report results.

4. AI Limitations

AI models may produce errors, miss violations, or flag items that are actually compliant. Building codes are complex, frequently updated, and subject to local amendments and interpretations. While we continuously improve our models, no AI system can guarantee 100% accuracy in code compliance analysis.

5. Professional Review Recommended

We strongly recommend that all projects undergo review by qualified licensed professionals (architects, engineers, code consultants) in addition to using PermitPrep.AI. Our Service is designed to complement — not replace — professional expertise.

6. User Responsibility

By using PermitPrep.AI, you acknowledge and accept these limitations. You assume full responsibility for all decisions made based on AI-generated reports. PermitPrep.AI shall not be held liable for any construction defects, permit denials, project delays, or other damages arising from reliance on our reports.
