1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing this website, submitting a request, placing an order, making a payment, or using any Permit Facts report or service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website or services.

3. Informational Use Only
All reports, summaries, website content, and communications are provided for general informational purposes only. Permit Facts does not provide legal advice, engineering advice, code enforcement decisions, title opinions, appraisals, inspections, insurance advice, surveying services, or official government determinations.
You are solely responsible for confirming any important detail with the relevant city, county, municipality, building department, zoning office, permitting authority, HOA, seller, licensed contractor, attorney, inspector, title company, lender, or other qualified professional.
4. Public Records and Data Limitations
Permit Facts relies in part on publicly available records and other external information sources. Such records may be incomplete, delayed, inaccurate, inconsistent, unavailable, misfiled, or subject to change without notice.
Because of this, Permit Facts does not guarantee that every report will identify every permit, issue, code concern, zoning matter, violation, or unpermitted improvement connected to a property.
5. No Government Affiliation
Permit Facts is an independent research service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any city, county, state, municipality, government agency, permitting office, zoning department, or code enforcement authority.
6. User Responsibilities
You agree to provide accurate and complete information when submitting a request, including the correct property address and your contact details.
You also agree that you will not:
- Use the website for unlawful, fraudulent, or misleading purposes
- Submit false, incomplete, or intentionally inaccurate order information
- Attempt to interfere with the website, forms, payment process, or security features
- Copy, resell, republish, or commercially exploit report content except as allowed by law or with written permission
7. Orders and Payment

By placing an order, you confirm that you are authorized to use the selected payment method and that the billing information you provide is accurate.
Prices, service descriptions, and ordering methods may be updated from time to time. Any delivery timeframe shown on the website or in communication is an estimate unless expressly stated otherwise.
8. Refunds and Cancellations
Because Permit Facts provides custom research services that may begin soon after an order is placed, cancellation and refund eligibility may be limited once work has started.
