What we show

The public record, in one place.

Enter an address and we read the city and county sources that define what a property is — and what you're allowed to do with it.

  • Permit history

    Open, expired, and closed permits — so unfinished or unpermitted work surfaces before you own it.

  • Zoning & overlays

    The base zone plus historic, coastal, and community-plan overlays that decide what you can change.

  • Short-term rental

    STRO licenses and TOT certificates that show whether nightly rentals are actually allowed.

  • Flood & hazards

    FEMA flood-zone signals that drive insurance costs and what a lender will require.

Why it matters

The expensive surprises hide in the records.

  • They cost real money.

    An open permit, a historic overlay, or a flood zone can add tens of thousands after closing.

  • They're not in the listing.

    None of this is on the MLS — it lives in city databases most buyers never open.

  • They limit what you can do.

    Zoning and overlays decide whether you can remodel, build, or rent — before you draw a plan.
