A little more desk.
A lot less paperwork.
01 / Meet Green Tag Desk
Green Tag Desk supports local HVAC, plumbing, and electrical shops with permit filing, registration, bond and insurance tracking, and inspection coordination through municipal closeout.
We file as your authorized agent. We handle the paperwork — your shop stays the contractor of record, and the town makes the permit and inspection decisions.
See where we can help02 / What we take off your desk
Practical administrative support for routine replacement work, with the details agreed before we begin.
We prepare and submit permit applications for routine replacement work, schedule and reschedule inspections, track every status, and close the permit out in your system.
Job types: furnace & AC replacement · water-heater replacement · standby generators · panel & service upgrades · EV-charger circuits.
We track your contractor registrations, bonds, licenses, and insurance certificates town by town — and warn you 60, 30, and 7 days before anything expires, before a town rejects your application because of it.
When a homeowner reaches out on Thumbtack, Angi, Google, or Yelp, we respond in about a minute, qualify the job, and book the estimate into your calendar. You approve every price — we never quote installation work. You get a summary of every conversation and a monthly report showing what each platform actually produced.
After the final inspection passes, we check in with your customer and send every one of them a Google review link. And when you want the schedule filled, we run seasonal tune-up campaigns to your past customers — fall furnace checks, spring AC checks — booked straight into your slow weeks.
03 / A simple working relationship
Start with a conversation. Build a process around the places you actually work.
We talk through your trade, routine jobs, and the towns where you need support.
We define the work, town coverage, fees, and the information we’ll need from you.
We coordinate the agreed paperwork and follow-up, with your shop as our point of contact.
Close to the work
Municipal paperwork varies from town to town — that’s the whole problem. We work the towns your shop works: Elburn, Elgin, South Elgin, St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, Aurora, North Aurora, Naperville, Wheaton, Downers Grove, Elmhurst, and surrounding Fox Valley communities.
Don’t see your town? Ask. If you work there regularly, we’ll build the template.

A few useful details
HVAC, plumbing, and electrical shops doing replacement work in the Fox Valley and western suburbs — from solo operators to 15-truck shops. We agree on your towns and services before we start.
$299 for the first 30 days, including your first 5 standard permits and a registration audit. Government permit and registration fees and bond premiums are separate, charged at cost. We’ll confirm the full scope before you commit.
No. We file as your authorized agent and handle administrative support and coordination. Your shop remains the licensed contractor of record, and the town makes all permit and inspection decisions.
New construction, additions, and commercial projects are outside the standard desk. Generators, panel upgrades, and larger backlogs are handled at the complex rate or by separate quote — tell us about the job and we’ll confirm whether it fits before you commit.
If the extra inspection cycle was caused by our error, we fix it free. If it was the installation, site access, or changed information, re-inspection coordination is $75, plus any town fee at cost.
When a town requires original documents or has no online portal, yes — we go. That’s the advantage of a local desk.
Municipalities control their review, approval, and inspection schedules. Our role is administrative support and coordination; the town makes the permit and inspection decisions.
