Use the current City of Los Angeles issued-record feed to review residential remodels, ADUs, solar, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and commercial tenant improvements. The lookup is evidence for your file, not a conclusion about work the feed does not contain.
Search the property before the policy issues and bring the returned City of LA records into the title file. Use the permit number, issue date, type, description, valuation, status, and source record to focus the next review.
ADUs, solar, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and remodel records are among the supported categories in the issued-permit feed. Treat the returned description and status as a starting point for file review and escalate questions that require records beyond the live source.
Commercial tenant improvements and other issued records can be searched through the same City of LA feed. Use the returned fields and source link to document what was found, then request manual/public-records follow-up when the current feed is incomplete for the file.
The LA pilot covers the City of Los Angeles only. We pull issued records directly from data.lacity.org (Socrata pi9x-tg5x — Building Permits Issued 2020 to Present). Unincorporated LA County, pre-2020 LADBS/PCIS datasets, and pending or unavailable records are outside this live lookup claim. See the full coverage index or LA coverage detail for the source and boundaries.
Confirm the jurisdiction, search the current issued-record feed, review what the source returned, then choose a report or manual follow-up based on the file.
Confirm that the property is within the City of Los Angeles, then run the live LADBS Socrata pi9x-tg5x lookup for issued permits from 2020 to present.

This pilot covers the City of Los Angeles through the LADBS Socrata pi9x-tg5x issued-permit feed. Unincorporated LA County is outside the live lookup scope and uses separate county systems. See the full coverage index for other jurisdictions.
Returned records can include permit number, issue date, permit type or sub-type, work description, declared valuation, status, address, and a source link back to the City of Los Angeles Socrata record.
The pi9x-tg5x feed covers LADBS-issued permits from 2020 to present. Pre-2020 LADBS/PCIS datasets are separate and are not wired to this live lookup; request manual or public-records follow-up for older history.
A zero result means no record matched the searched address in the current 2020-to-present feed. It is not proof that the property has no permit history or that no unpermitted work exists; use the manual/public-records path when the result matters.
Request manual or public-records follow-up for pre-2020 history, an address outside the City of Los Angeles, a pending or unavailable source record, or any matter where the current feed is not enough to support the title decision. For coverage detail, see the LA permit coverage page.
The pilot is free through Q4 for short-list teams, with a target 24-hour turnaround for in-scope Los Angeles requests. Standard orders are Basic $29 for normalized permit data or Premium $79 for data plus available original City PDF documents. The pilot is intended for teams handling monthly volume ≥ 10 reports.
