This data can prove to be invaluable if you are in the process of buying or selling your home.

Lack of Permit Building Information
If there aren’t any permits noted in the history of a property it can mean that there may be hidden problems with it. It can indicate that there hasn’t been any work done on these major components that make up the house. It can also mean that additions and other remodeling projects were done without the proper permits and will have to be taken down and rebuilt. There is also a direct link between a lack of permits and homes that are is disrepair. When a home has been properly maintained, there will be permit information to show it.
