Our Story
We're on a mission to make the building permit process simple, efficient, and accessible to everyone.
Permit Saige was founded in 2024 by Kenyon Congdon, a longtime leader in public sector software design, with a vision to radically simplify the building permit process across the United States. Frustrated by the fragmented, outdated systems that burden both applicants and agencies, Kenyon set out to create a smarter, more intuitive way to prepare and submit building permits—one that puts people first.
At the very beginning of this journey, Kenyon brought together a leadership team grounded in real-world government tech experience. He's joined by David Woodward as CTO, bringing deep expertise in public sector platforms and a long history of building mission-critical systems for state and local governments. Collectively, our team holds more than 55 years of experience in public sector software, having worked side by side on major projects in permitting, finance, community development, and public safety.
We're just getting started, but our goal is ambitious: to build a single, unified portal for building permitting that works no matter where you live in the United States. Whether you're a homeowner navigating the process for the first time or a contractor juggling multiple projects, Permit Saige will help you prepare complete, accurate applications that avoid costly delays and are ready for submission on day one.
While we focus on improving the applicant experience, we're equally committed to boosting government efficiency by reducing the time, cost, and administrative burden required to process applications. Permit Saige is designed to support both sides of the permitting equation, easing workloads for overburdened agencies while helping applicants get approved faster.
Our experience gives us confidence, but we know we have a long road ahead. We're committed to building this the right way—with transparency, care, and a relentless focus on what users actually need. Permit Saige is the beginning of something bigger: a smarter, simpler permitting experience for everyone.
