Notable experience

After nearly a decade in Director-level roles at leading GTA development firms, Permit.Land was built on a simple observation: planning consulting hasn't changed in 30 years. AI changes that. Every file is handled by a licensed RPP. AI compresses the research and drafting. The judgment and the sign-off are always human.

05 FAQ

What else do you need to know?

AI handles the time-consuming parts: researching applicable policies, reviewing zoning by-laws, drafting planning justification reports, and preparing application materials. It works fast and doesn't miss details. What AI cannot do is exercise professional judgment: weighing competing policy objectives, negotiating with municipal staff, advising on strategy, or signing off on a submission. That is what Matthew Kruger, MCIP, RPP does on every single file. The AI accelerates the work. The RPP is responsible for it.
No. AI assists with policy research, drafting, and document preparation. Every file is reviewed, directed, and signed off by Matthew Kruger, MCIP, RPP, a licensed Registered Professional Planner in Ontario. The judgment, the strategy, and the professional accountability are always human.
ChatGPT can't tell you the actual zoning classification of a specific parcel, or whether utility capacity supports your development. It works from training data, not live sources. For a quick definition or concept ChatGPT works fine, but for a planning decision you're staking $2M+ on, it is unreliable. Permit.Land combines live municipal trends with AI-assisted analysis and a licensed RPP who signs off on everything.
Minor variances, zoning by-law amendments, official plan amendments, site plan applications, severances, pre-application consultations, planning due diligence, and more. If it falls under the Planning Act, we handle it.
The Planning Act applies across all of Ontario, and so do we. Our work concentrates in two areas: the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, and cottage country running from Simcoe through Muskoka and the Kawarthas. We have detailed pages for Toronto, Mississauga, Barrie and Peterborough. If your property is anywhere in Ontario, we can help.
Yes. All re-submissions are included provided that the project is not materially changing.
Yes. Permit.Land operates in full compliance with the Ontario Professional Planners Institute (OPPI) Code of Professional Practice. Every file is directed and signed off by Matthew Kruger, MCIP, RPP, a Registered Professional Planner in Ontario. AI assists with research and drafting. The independent professional judgment required under the Planning Act and OPPI standards is always provided by a licensed human planner. The billing structure and use of technology tools do not affect that obligation in any way.
