Inspector Studio
Permit History

Know what was built, permitted — and what wasn't — before you set foot on the property.

Permit Hunt pulls county records for any address and shows you what work was done, what got a permit, what didn't, and what's still open. Takes a few seconds. Saves you from walking in blind.

What Permit Hunt shows you

Results in seconds

Type in the address and the permit history comes back fast — pulled straight from county records, no manual digging required.

Open permits, clearly flagged

Any permit that was never closed gets called out automatically — so you can let your clients know before it becomes a problem at the closing table.

The full permit history

See every permit ever filed on the property — what work was done, when, and by whom. A great way to spot additions or renovations that might have skipped the permit process.
