Important context
A permit search does not replace an inspection.
Permit history can help you identify things to investigate, but it cannot tell you whether a home is structurally sound, safe, code-compliant or worth a particular price.
No permit found does not mean no work
Some work may be old, exempt, missing from the dataset or unpermitted.
A permit does not prove quality
Recorded approval does not tell you the current condition of the work.
Use the right professionals
Inspections, title work, surveys and specialist advice remain important where relevant.
