Terms of use

Updated October 1, 2026

Nearby Permits is a free service that republishes public building permit records from city open data portals.

No warranty

We show records as the city publishes them and refresh them several times a day, but we don't guarantee they're complete, current or correct. Don't rely on this site alone for legal, financial, safety or purchase decisions; confirm with the city permit office.

Use of the site, API and MCP server

You may use the pages, API and MCP server for any lawful purpose, including in AI assistants and apps. Please cite Nearby Permits and the city permit office as the source. Limits: 60 requests a minute per IP address. Don't try to break, overload or bypass the service.

No affiliation

We're not affiliated with any city government.

Liability

The service is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for losses from using it.
