Expired and open permit closure
An expired or open permit stays on the property record until someone closes it. It can surface in a buyer's lien search, delay a closing, or block new permits. We track down the permit, find out what's missing, and get it closed or renewed.
Who this is for
- Sellers and buyers getting ready to close
- Homeowners whose contractor disappeared before final inspection
- Owners who need new permits but have old ones still open
- Realtors and title companies clearing a property record
How we handle it
Pull the history
We research every permit on the property and what each one still needs.
Find what's missing
Usually a final inspection, a missing document, unpaid fees or a contractor sign-off.
Reactivate or renew
We extend, renew or reactivate the permit, and file a change of contractor if the original one is gone.
Pass final and close
We schedule the remaining inspections and confirm the permit shows closed on the record.
Questions we hear
My contractor disappeared. Can the permit still be closed?
Usually, yes. A change of contractor lets a new licensed contractor, or in some cases the owner, take over the permit and finish the inspections.
Can I sell with an open permit?
Many buyers, lenders and title companies ask for open permits to be closed before closing. Starting early avoids a delayed closing.
What if the permit is decades old?
Old permits can still be closed, though records take longer to find. We pull the history directly from the building department.
