Standard orders are 3–5 business days. Rush orders are delivered within 24 hours for the 15 live jurisdictions with direct database access. Rush availability outside those metros varies — we'll confirm on order review. Turnaround starts after order confirmation, not submission.

Every report includes a normalized permit record table (permit number, type, dates, status, scope of work) with open permits flagged in red. Premium tier adds the original stamped PDF from city records — the same document underwriters and attorneys require. See a sample report to see the exact format.
