Effective date: July 22, 2026
Permit Amnesty is operated by Kobzev Pro Contracting Group Inc., a California-licensed Class B general contractor (CSLB #1148495). These terms govern your purchase and use of a Confidential Feasibility Assessment through permitamnesty.com. By paying for an assessment, you agree to them.
What the Assessment Is
The assessment is a written analysis of your property based on the information, photos, and records you and, where applicable, an independent licensed engineer provide. It identifies which path your property is likely on — AB 2533 amnesty, standard as-built permit, or removal — with a step-by-step action plan and preliminary cost ranges.
The assessment is not a construction bid, not a permit application, not legal advice, and not a guarantee of any outcome. All figures in every assessment are preliminary: final costs are set by the contractor you choose and by what the city approves. Nothing is filed with any city, county, or code enforcement authority as part of the assessment — nothing is filed until you decide to proceed and authorize it.
We do not need your full legal name or identification to order a Preliminary Assessment, and we do not ask how you are related to the property. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you submit; the assessment is only as reliable as what it is based on.
The Three Tiers
- Preliminary Assessment — $550. Remote. Report delivered within 12 days of a completed intake.
- Engineer-Reviewed Assessment — $850. Remote, plus an independent desk review by a licensed engineer. Report delivered within 12 days of a completed intake.
- On-Site Engineering Assessment — $1,650 for Zone 1 (roughly one hour’s drive from our base point, accounting for traffic). Pricing for other travel zones is set at checkout based on the property ZIP code. Includes a site visit by a licensed engineer, plus everything in the Engineer-Reviewed tier. Report delivered within 12 days of a completed intake.
- On-Site Engineering Assessment — $1,650 for Zone 1 (roughly one hour’s drive from our base point, accounting for traffic). Pricing for other travel zones is set at checkout based on the property ZIP code. Includes a site visit by a licensed engineer, plus everything in the Engineer-Reviewed tier. Report delivered within 12 days of a completed intake.
Every tier includes a 15-minute call to walk through your report, or written Q&A if you prefer, available for [N] days after your report is delivered.
And you can’t pick wrong: every tier credits into the next.
The independent engineer’s involvement (Engineer-Reviewed and On-Site tiers) gives an independent professional opinion on the structure as it stands. It is not a pass/fail verdict and not a guarantee of city approval. Structural plans, drawings, and calculations are a separate service and are not included in any tier.
Payment
Payment is processed by Stripe at the time you order. We do not receive or store your full card number.
Cancellation and Refunds
You have 48 hours from the time of payment to change your mind, counted to the hour.
- If you have not completed your intake within that window, your payment is refunded automatically.
- If you have completed your intake, you can request a full refund within the same 48-hour window.
We do not begin work on your assessment until the 48-hour window has closed.
This standard refund policy does not apply to custom or urgent engagements, which carry their own pricing and terms (Section 7).
Upgrades
You can upgrade from one tier to a higher tier within 5 days of receiving your results. You pay only the difference between what you already paid and the price of the new tier at the time of the upgrade.
On-Site Visits: Scheduling, Rescheduling, and Missed Visits
For the On-Site Engineering Assessment, the site visit is scheduled after your intake is complete. You can reschedule it, provided you do so at least a few days before the scheduled visit. A missed visit without a reschedule request is non-refundable.
Buyer’s Upgrade Credit
If you order a Preliminary Assessment on a property you are considering buying, and you close on that property, the fee you paid credits toward any tier for 12 months after closing, for that same property address. You pay the difference between your original payment and the new tier’s price at the time you upgrade, and we re-verify the property’s condition against its current state before delivering the upgraded report.
Urgent and Custom Engagements
Properties with an active enforcement deadline, an open code enforcement case, or a location outside our standard travel zones are handled as individual, custom engagements with their own pricing and terms, agreed with you directly before any payment is taken. The standard 48-hour refund policy in Section 4 does not apply to these engagements; refund terms for custom engagements are set out in your individual agreement.
What Is Not Included
The assessment does not include: construction or demolition work, preparation or filing of permit applications, structural plans, drawings, or engineering calculations, or representation before any city or county agency. If you decide to proceed after your assessment, these are separate services, carried out by licensed contractors — Kobzev Pro Contracting Group Inc. (CSLB #1148495) as our primary construction partner, or any licensed contractor you choose.
No Guarantees
We do not guarantee permit approval, any specific outcome, financing, resale value, or a reduction in penalties. Final permitting requirements and approvals are determined by the applicable building department; final penalty outcomes are determined by the relevant city or county. Nothing on this site or in an assessment report is legal advice; if you need legal advice — for example, on a recorded lien or an active enforcement matter — we can point you toward independent counsel, but we do not provide it ourselves.
Use of Your Report
Your report is for your own use in deciding how to handle your property. It is not for resale or redistribution without our written consent.
Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by law, our liability for any claim arising from an assessment is limited to the amount you paid for that assessment. We are not liable for decisions made based on the report, for construction or permitting outcomes carried out by any contractor, or for indirect or consequential losses.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The effective date at the top will reflect the most recent change. Changes apply to assessments ordered after the change is posted.
