Permit Advisors

Permit Advisors is a nationwide, full-service permit expediting and entitlement firm that helps clients navigate the regulatory approvals required to build and modify signage, retail, and commercial projects. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Beverly Hills, California, the company operates on the principle that client success is central to its business, and it now operates as a Milrose company within a larger national permitting and compliance organization. For the out-of-home and signage industry, Permit Advisors handles the often complex process of securing sign permits alongside the many other approvals a site requires, including parking, dumpster placement, racking, and fire and life-safety items.

Its project managers come from backgrounds in planning, construction, and architecture, so they understand local code requirements and can anticipate pain points that would otherwise stall a project. On the entitlement side, the firm manages discretionary planning and zoning reviews that can determine whether signage is even permitted, coordinating submittals and paperwork among state, city, county, and local government bodies. Typical entitlement work includes pursuing conditional use permits, variances for parking or signage, and approvals from bodies such as historical preservation committees.

By maintaining strong relationships with government agencies and centralizing the paperwork, Permit Advisors reduces delays and setbacks for retailers and developers. Within the OOH installation and fabrication ecosystem, the company fills the permitting and entitlement role, clearing the regulatory path before structures are fabricated and installed.
