An open permit means the City of Houston hasn't signed off on completed work. This creates real problems:
We'll pull the full permit history and flag any issues. Fast turnaround.
Request Permit SearchWe search City of Houston records for every permit associated with the property. We check permit status, inspection history, and any outstanding requirements. Many properties have permits going back decades - we find them all.
For each open permit, we determine what's needed to close it: Final inspection? As-built drawings? Engineer letter? We give you a clear picture of what it takes.
We handle the resolution - scheduling inspections, preparing documentation, working with the City. Most open permits can be closed within 5-10 business days; some faster.
You receive documentation showing permits are closed, including City records. This gives your underwriters what they need to issue clean title insurance.
