Permit History

Historical building permit records, deduplicated across providers

Overview

Permit records filed for an address, aggregated and deduplicated across several authoritative providers, with over 600 million records nationwide. Each permit carries number, status, category, work description, key dates, and contractor and license detail. Teams reach for permit records when they need to know what work has actually been done.

What teams use it for

  • Confirming roof and system updates for underwriting

    Credit real updates that have a permit record behind them, dated and described by the contractor and municipality at the time the work was done.

  • Prepping a home inspection

    Walk in knowing what work was pulled, when, and by whom, so the inspection concentrates on the additions and systems that have a documented history.

  • Checking a renovation story before an offer

    Compare the improvements described in a listing with the permits on record. You go into the offer knowing if you might inherit unpermitted work issues.
