For Underwriting, Catastrophe & Property-Research Teams

Property Permit History Research for Insurance Teams

Evaluate public building-permit history for a defined geography or property set alongside your own property, hazard, and underwriting data. We review the actual source, newest published record, available fields, and permitted delivery options before proposing a pilot.

Frequently asked questions

Answers for teams evaluating a defined, source-bounded property-research workflow. For a coverage review, contact sales with your geography, fields, cadence, and security requirements.

Do you offer a public API today?

No. PermitGrab does not currently offer a public self-serve API. For a qualified enterprise use case, request a coverage review so we can assess the relevant source terms, fields, delivery requirements, and implementation path.

Can PermitGrab provide a recurring file?

A source-bounded recurring file may be evaluated for a defined use case after coverage, permitted use, field requirements, and security needs are reviewed. It is not available as a blanket self-serve data-feed promise.

What should an insurance team provide for a coverage review?

Share the geography or property universe, monthly record volume, whether you need new records or history, required fields, cadence, and data-security requirements. We will respond with what the relevant public sources can actually support.

Can permit history determine risk or coverage?

No. A public permit can document published project activity, but it does not establish a property condition, completed work, loss, coverage need, eligibility, or underwriting outcome. Your team must validate it within its own governed workflow.
