Permit history, violation and lien check

Open permits, code violations and liens are some of the most common reasons a Florida closing slips. Open permits and many code liens stay with the property, not the owner. Miss one, and it can delay the closing, hold up the loan, or become the buyer's problem the day the deed changes hands. Before you buy, sell or refinance, we research the property's permit history, open code cases and recorded liens, then give you a plain-English report on what's open and what it will take to clear it. We call it The Queen's Property Report.

Questions we hear

How much does the report cost?

$199 flat per property. If we find something, you also get a quote to clear it.

Isn't this the same as a title search?

No. A title search focuses on ownership and recorded liens. Open permits and code cases often sit in building department and code enforcement records that a title search may not cover.

How long does a check take?

It depends on how each jurisdiction keeps its records. We give you a delivery date when you order.

What if you find something?

You get a plan and a quote to clear it, and we can start right away.
