Open Permit Questions

Can you close a permit that's decades old?

Yes. Very old permits are a regular part of our work. We've closed permits opened decades ago, including one from 1957.

I have several open permits. Can you handle them together?

Yes. Many of our jobs involve multiple open permits on one property.

Do I need to close permits before I list my house?

It's smart to check before you list. Open permits often turn up on the buyer's title search and can delay closing.

Why do permits stay open?

A permit stays open when the work never got a final inspection or sign-off. The contractor moved on, the owner forgot, the final inspection was never scheduled, or paperwork like an electrical certificate was never filed. Years later, it's still on the town's record.

Why do I need a survey or an architect just to close a permit?

We hear this a lot. Towns usually require a current survey and drawings that show what was built. We coordinate all of it for you, and we order the survey with no markup.
