The initial search is free, so you can see whether useful permit history exists before buying a report.
Professional use
Use the report as research, not as certification.
CheckHarbour does not certify code compliance, workmanship, structural adequacy or the present condition of any property or installation.
Records can be incomplete
Permit databases vary by jurisdiction and historical depth.
Status needs interpretation
A recorded status should be verified with the authority if it matters to your work.
Current conditions still require inspection
Public records cannot replace physical investigation or professional judgment.
