Permit paperwork is killing your momentum.

The average food truck operator spends 40+ hours per year on permits — chasing forms, missing deadlines, and googling the same requirements for the fifth time. That's time you're not on the road making money.

  • Different forms for every city, every permit type
  • Deadlines buried in your calendar (or forgotten entirely)
  • Consultants charging $1,500–$5,000 per application
  • Permits in emails, folders, glove boxes — never where you need them
  • Scrambling to find your commissary kitchen agreement at inspection time
"I was spending every Sunday night doing permit research instead of prepping for the week. I didn't start a food truck business to become a paperwork expert."

The numbers

StreetLegal pays for itself on day one.

A permit consultant charges more per application than StreetLegal costs for an entire year. And they're a lot slower.

One-time cost comparison. StreetLegal is a monthly subscription covering unlimited permits.

StreetLegal Pro $149/mo
DIY (your time) $0 + 40 hrs
Permit Consultant $1,500–$5,000

Consultant avg $2,500/application · StreetLegal avg $149/month for unlimited permits

⏱️ Time to approved permit

From starting the application to having a completed, ready-to-submit form.

StreetLegal AI 15 minutes
Permit Consultant 4–6 weeks
DIY / Manual 6–8 weeks

🎯 StreetLegal is 240× faster than DIY and 10–17× cheaper than a consultant.

🏆

StreetLegal vs consultants: 10× faster, 15× cheaper, always available

And unlike a permit consultant, we don't take vacations, don't charge per application, and don't keep your documents in their filing cabinet.

Questions?

Stuff operators actually ask

Straight answers, no fluff.

Is there really a free plan, no card required?+
Yes. Sign up with your email and get manual permit tracking, the deadline calendar, city guides for all 22 cities, and limited map and events access — free forever. No credit card, no trial period that auto-charges you. Upgrade to Starter or Pro whenever you're ready for AI form filling.
Which cities does the AI permit filing cover?+
AI permit filling currently covers Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, with all city-specific and county-level requirements built in. Deadline tracking, document storage, event feeds, kitchen marketplace, and city guides work for operators everywhere. We're expanding AI coverage to more cities throughout 2026 — email us if you want your city moved to the front of the line.
How does the AI actually work?+
You upload your existing documents (driver's license, vehicle registration, existing permits). Our AI reads them and pre-fills the form fields for your city and permit type. You review every field before downloading — think of it as a very smart assistant that handles 90% of the work while you verify the final 10%. You're always in control before anything gets submitted.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. No cancellation fees, no long-term contracts. Cancel from your billing settings and your account drops back to the free plan limits. Your documents and data stay intact — we don't delete anything.
How is this different from hiring a permit consultant?+
A permit consultant charges $1,500–$5,000 per application with a 4–6 week turnaround. StreetLegal costs $79–$149/month and handles form filling in under 15 minutes. You also get deadline tracking, document storage, renewal reminders, a city event feed, kitchen marketplace, and an interactive map — features no consultant offers. StreetLegal isn't a substitute for legal advice in complex situations, but for standard mobile food vendor permits it's dramatically faster and cheaper.
What cities are covered in the events feed and map?+
The events feed and interactive map cover 22 US cities including Pittsburgh, Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Denver, Houston, and more. Events are sourced from Eventbrite and local calendars, updated weekly. The map includes commissary kitchens, water hookups, electric stations, truck parking, permit zones, and health department locations — all built specifically for food truck operators.
