AUTOMATICALLY.

San Antonio's SAICIMS portal (Accela-based) doesn't send automatic status alerts. ClearedNo monitors your permits continuously — alerting you by email and push notification the moment your permit status changes.

TIPS FOR SAN ANTONIO CONTRACTORS

Know your SAICIMS record number
SAICIMS assigns each application a unique record number. Keep this number handy — it's your primary way to look up permit status and schedule inspections.
Check for Historic Review requirements
If your project is in a Historic District (like King William or Lavaca), you'll need approval from the Office of Historic Preservation before permits are issued. This adds 2–4 weeks.
Military base proximity matters
Projects near JBSA (Joint Base San Antonio) or other military installations may need additional federal review. Factor this into your timeline.
Use the DRSAB for large projects
San Antonio's Development and Business Services office (DRSAB) has pre-application meetings for commercial projects over 5,000 sq ft. Use these to catch issues before submission.

San Antonio is growing fast and the permit office is slammed. I used to call SAICIMS support every week just to get a status update. Now ClearedNo handles it and I spend that time on the job instead.
