Although they have the same basic meaning, "permitir" is used for legal issues and more formal styles of speaking/writing. "Dejar" is for informal.

Yes, both have a similar meaning to "allow to"
Mamá, ¿me permites ir a la fiesta? (mom, would you allow me to go to the party?)
Sí, te voy a dejar ir (Yes, I'll allow you to go)
