Save & Share Permit Data
The tool’s dedicated “Save & Share” function eliminates repetitive searching. Once you locate a permit of interest, save it to your dashboard for one-click access. This feature is specifically designed for:
- Tracking permit approval progress without re-entering search criteria
- Monitoring inspection schedules for your projects
- Receiving automatic notifications when permit statuses change
- Creating shareable links that provide direct access to specific permits
This functionality saves significant time for anyone managing multiple permit applications or monitoring neighborhood development patterns.
Superior Address Search Functionality
LADBS and other official permit sites require separate entries for address numbers and street names, often leading to failed searches and frustration. Our tool features:
- Full address autocomplete that predicts as you type
- Recognition of common address misspellings and variations
- Ability to search by intersection or block range
- Support for both formal and common neighborhood names
The system recognizes partial addresses and suggests matching properties instantly, reducing search time from minutes to seconds.

Each permit record in our database includes:
- Complete project scope and description
- Valuation amount as reported to building departments
- Current status in the approval process
- All associated inspections and their outcomes
- Plan check comments and correction notices
- Contractor information and license verification
- Timeline data showing average processing times
All permit information is sourced directly from official records and updated daily, ensuring you have access to the most current data available.
Filtering and Analysis Tools
The advanced filtering system allows you to:
- Sort permits by type (new construction, addition, remodel, etc.)
- Filter by valuation range to find comparable projects
- View only projects with specific contractors
- Isolate permits by current status
- Compare processing times across different jurisdictions
These tools transform raw permit data into actionable insights for your specific project needs.
