Who uses this

  • Buyers + investors — due diligence before close. Spot unpermitted additions, open code violations, expired permits.
  • Owners — confirm past work was finaled before selling, refinancing, or starting a new project.
  • Architects + contractors — see what's already in the LADBS file before designing an addition or remodel.
  • Insurance + appraisers — verify the structure's permit-status profile.
