Yes. The guided workflow can be used by homeowners, contractors, or other authorized applicants who have the information needed to prepare the permit paperwork.

Using the software does not change licensing, authorization, owner-builder, signature, or professional requirements imposed by a government agency.

Important: Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction and can change. Form-O-Matic prepares configured paperwork but does not issue permits or guarantee government approval.
