About Us

Established in 1984, Permits West, Inc. has spent more than 40 years guiding projects through the complex regulatory landscape of tribal, federal, and state lands. From our headquarters in Santa Fe, we’ve built a reputation for practical, reliable permitting and compliance services that help projects move from concept to completion.

While oil and gas has long been our foundation, our expertise extends far beyond. Over the years, we’ve supported development of power lines, mining operations, roads, cemeteries, shopping centers, cell towers, solar farms, and more. If it requires a permit, right-of-way, or environmental clearance, chances are we’ve done it—and done it well.

As a small, independent firm, we are responsive, experienced, and deeply invested in the communities and landscapes we serve. That’s why clients across industries turn to Permits West for clear guidance, strong relationships with regulators, and results that stand the test of time.
