# Compare my quote with permit records

Compare my quote with permit records: see where a price you were given sits next to what applicants in your city declared on building permits for the same kind of job. Only city figures with 30 or more permits are offered here.

## Your quote

The link includes your amount. Nothing is stored on a server.

Read this first. Permit values are self-reported by the applicant to set permit fees. They often leave out materials or labor, and they are not what the contractor actually charged. A quote above or below this range can be reasonable.
