Searching official permit databases across supported jurisdictions
What is PermitCheck?
PermitCheck searches official government permit databases across supported jurisdictions — currently covering Atlanta and Gwinnett County, with more coming soon.
Unpermitted work is one of the most common — and most expensive — surprises in real estate transactions. A $50,000 kitchen renovation done without permits can cost a new owner tens of thousands to bring up to code, or worse, become a liability in a future sale.
For $9.99, you get the full permit history for any supported property — searchable in seconds, not days.
