We pull live permit records straight from the City of Sacramento Community Development Department via opendata.cityofsacramento.org, then assemble a verified permit history for any Sacramento address — so your team can flag unpermitted additions, expired permits, and ADU/garage-conversion work before the policy issues.
Houston pilot also live → /for-title-companies/houston
The Sacramento pilot covers the workflows California title, escrow, and counsel teams actually run — pre-closing due diligence, Sacramento City Code ADU compliance, FHA/HUD Minimum Property Standards confirmation, and unpermitted-addition review.
Surface unpermitted additions, open City of Sacramento permits, and expired permits on the schedule before the policy issues. The Sacramento permit record is the only signal for whether an unpermitted garage conversion, rear addition, or detached ADU closes the gap on a California closing.
Confirm ADU compliance under Sacramento City Code and California SB-9 (2021) before financing closes. City of Sacramento Community Development records are the canonical signal for whether a garage conversion, JADU, or detached ADU is permitted — critical for California closing periods (typically 17–30 days) and FHA/HUD appraisal conditions on conforming loans.
Cross-reference City of Sacramento permit history against the Sacramento County Assessor's parcel records (APN-based) to surface common unpermitted patterns: garage conversions, room additions, deck expansions, and detached structures. The pilot workflow flags those when there's a permit gap vs. declared square footage.

Data source: City of Sacramento Open Data — Building Permits (ArcGIS FeatureServer) · Updated live · Generated Aug 24, 2026, 12:47 PM UTC
We're inviting a short-list of California title, escrow, and real-estate attorney teams to a free pilot through Q4. Drop your details and we'll set up your workspace within 1 business day.
Pilot terms: free through Q4, priority 24-hour turnaround on Sacramento addresses, monthly volume ≥ 10 reports, cancel anytime, direct Slack channel for data requests and edge cases.
The City of Sacramento Community Development records reach back through the historical archive, with the current ArcGIS FeatureServer layer covering post-2000 permits in detail. Older permits on pre-2000 Sacramento tracts (Poverty Ridge, Curtis Park) appear in the legacy archive feed — we surface both in the report so you know when to pull a CDD public-records request alongside.
Yes — the City of Sacramento issued ADU permits under Sacramento City Code Chapter 17.712 (adopted 2018, amended 2022) and California SB-9 (2021). Our lookup returns every permit the City has on file, and we flag ADU-eligibility markers (lot type, existing unit count, transit-corridor status) as a Premium add-on so you can flag ADU properties upfront at the order stage.
Yes — by cross-referencing City of Sacramento permit history against the Sacramento County Assessor's parcel records (APN-based). Garage conversions, unpermitted rear additions, and detached structures without a Certificate of Occupancy are the most common unpermitted patterns in Sacramento single-family sales, and the pilot workflow flags those when there's a permit gap vs. declared square footage.
FHA-insured loans require that subject properties meet HUD's Minimum Property Standards (24 CFR §200.926d). Permit records confirm legal unit count and structural compliance — critical for FHA 203(b) and 203(k) financing. The pilot workflow flags open permits, expired permits, and unpermitted additions that could trigger an FHA appraisal condition.
Free through Q4 for short-list teams, with priority 24-hour turnaround on Sacramento addresses (we typically deliver same-day). Basic tier $29 (normalized permit data), Premium tier $79 (data + original City PDF documents). Pilot covers monthly volume ≥ 10 reports; below that, sign up anyway and we'll flag you for the general-availability tier in Q1.
