🏦 Affiliate Program — Loan Officers

New permits mean
new financing needs.

New construction, renovation, and addition permits signal homeowners and builders who need financing — often before they've called a lender. Permit Notice turns the public record into a pipeline of warm prospects, and pays you $100 every time someone in your network subscribes.

You already know everyone who needs this

Think about every person you interact with on a transaction. Each one has a reason to want daily permit intelligence — and you're the perfect person to introduce it.

🏡

Real Estate Agents

The agents who send you purchase business need to know what's being permitted near their listings. Every agent in your referral network is a warm lead — and a reason to stay top of mind.

💼

Real Estate Investors

Investors who finance renovations and new builds with you need permit data for diligence and project management. A subscription is an easy yes for anyone closing repeatedly.

🏗️

Builders & Developers

Builders you provide construction financing to pull permits on every project. Permit monitoring is an operational tool they'll use across all of their active sites.

📋

Title Agents

The title agents on your closings catch open permits that can delay funding. They run permit checks constantly — a natural fit and a strong referral.

🏠

Home Inspectors

Inspectors who pull permit history before arriving on site deliver cleaner reports — which keeps your loans on track. Easy to introduce, easy for them to value.

🛡️

Insurance Agents

The insurance agent on every transaction shares your interest in permit history — unpermitted work affects coverage and appraisals alike. A natural cross-referral.

🤝

Fellow Loan Officers

Other LOs in your branch or your market who finance construction and renovation can use the same warm-lead feed you do. Cross-referrals among lenders are common and easy.

Four ways to share. All of them work.

Your referral partners and your borrower database are your strongest channels. Here's how loan officers are putting their network to work.

Everything you need to know

Maintain at least 10 active paying referrals at any point in the year. "Active" means they're currently subscribed to any Permit Notice plan — if a referral cancels, a new signup replaces them in your count. We track this automatically in your affiliate dashboard.
Referral commissions are paid on the 15th of the month following the signup. So a referral who subscribes on June 3rd would generate a $100 payment on July 15th. Payment via ACH direct deposit or PayPal — your choice at registration.
Set up daily alerts for new construction, addition, and major renovation permits in your lending area. A new construction permit signals a build that may need a construction-to-permanent loan; renovation and addition permits flag homeowners who often finance the work with a HELOC or cash-out refinance. Reaching out when the permit is filed puts you ahead of every lender waiting for the borrower to call.
The affiliate program pays you for referring people to a software subscription — it is unrelated to any mortgage transaction, so it isn't a referral fee for settlement services under RESPA. That said, every lender's compliance policies differ. Confirm with your branch or compliance team before promoting any third-party tool, and never tie a Permit Notice referral to a loan as a condition or inducement.
Yes — the 20% first-year discount applies to all plan tiers: Starter ($49/mo → $39.20/mo), Pro ($149/mo → $119.20/mo), and Enterprise ($499/mo → $399.20/mo). The discount applies to all 12 months of their first year, not just the first month.
If your active referral count drops below 10, your Pro plan billing resumes at the standard $149/month rate. Your cash commissions continue regardless — only the free plan benefit is tied to the 10-referral threshold.
