Know Any Changes Done to the Property since it was Built

A permit history report shows a documented work history of a property. The report shows work including but not limited to, remodeling, building additions, plumbing, and electrical work. The report will only include permit information and will not document any work that was done without a permit.

Process

How It Works.

Four steps from an address to a documented work history you can read alongside your inspection report.

1

Send the Address

Call, text or email us the property address you want the permit history for.

2

We Confirm Details

One of our associates contacts you to confirm the property and what you need.

3

Records Compiled

Permits on file for that address are pulled together into one documented history.

4

Read It Together

Review the permit history beside your home inspection report before you decide.

Why It Matters

Should I get a permit
history report?

Maybe you want to know whether mechanical work has been done, or whether the water pipes were replaced. A permit history report tells you what has already been done to the property — renovations and repairs that a walkthrough will not reveal. Read alongside your residential home inspection tips and the inspection and quality assurance process, it gives you a clearer picture of the property’s condition and the upgrades it has been through.

A documented work history for the property, compiled from the permits on record
Remodeling and building additions — structural changes made since the property was built
Plumbing and electrical work — whether the pipes were repiped or the panel was upgraded
Open vs. closed status on each permit, so you can see what was finished and signed off
The gaps, too — work you can see in the home with no permit behind it is worth asking about
Context for your inspection report, so the two together leave no surprises down the road
Common Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions.

A documented work history for the property, built from the building permits on record — including but not limited to remodeling, building additions, plumbing and electrical work, with the status each permit carries.

Not directly. The report only includes permit information, so work done without a permit was never filed and has no record to show. What it does give you is the other half of the comparison: if the home has a finished basement or a newer panel and nothing on record explains it, that gap is worth raising before you buy.

Send us the property address by phone, text or email and one of our associates will contact you shortly to confirm the details.

They answer different questions. Your home inspection tells you the condition of the property today; the permit history tells you what was done to get it there, and whether it was signed off. Read together, they leave far less unexplained.
