Permit Report now covers Denver, CO

Permit Report now supports live, address-queryable permit lookups for residential building-permit records inside the City and County of Denver. The launch adds Denver as a gateway metro for title teams, alongside a research brief that points to +30.2% YoY multifamily permitting momentum. That context makes a current, address-level permit check useful during property and closing review without turning the coverage into a broader market forecast.

What live and address-queryable coverage means

A Denver lookup queries the existing Denver Community Planning & Development (CPD) residential ArcGIS coverage by address and returns the records exposed by that layer. The result is a current source-backed lookup that can be checked against the property file; it is not a manually assembled list and it does not imply that every permit record or document is available in one response.

Denver coverage scope

The Denver launch covers CPD-issued residential permits in the City and County of Denver, including residential new construction, additions, alterations, repairs, and residential permit records for demolition. The residential construction layer contains records from 2012 onward and can return permit type, declared job valuation, contractor, and current status details when the source provides them.

This is distinct from Denver commercial-only coverage: commercial construction permits are published on a sibling CPD layer and are not part of this residential launch. Standalone demolition-only tickets are also published on a separate CPD demolition layer and are not the same as the residential construction records queried here. Jefferson, Arapahoe, Adams, and Douglas counties, along with suburban cities such as Aurora, Lakewood, Westminster, and Englewood, are separate jurisdictions and are outside this Denver city-and-county coverage.

Limitations to keep in the file

The source reflects the records exposed by CPD's residential layer, not a promise of complete historical coverage. Pre-2012 records, active plan-review items, commercial-only permits, standalone demolition-only tickets, and records in surrounding jurisdictions may require a separate source or records request. Confirm the returned address and permit details against the title or assessor file, and preserve the source snapshot date when the result informs a closing decision.

How title teams can use the Denver pilot

Title and escrow teams can start with the Denver title-company pilot, use the returned residential permit history to identify work that merits follow-up, and read the Denver building-permits primer for the source and scope notes.
