Check a building permit

What this checker does

We read the authority's own record

Each lookup goes to the permitting authority's published data — the same record their portal shows — and never to a copy we scraped weeks ago.

You see what that source actually publishes

Status, plan reviews, inspections, fees and conditions appear only where the authority publishes them. Where a source is silent, we say so rather than showing an empty section.

PermitChime is not the authoritative record

The issuing authority is, and every result links straight back to it. We tell you when we read the record and how often that source republishes.
