Building permits
The city's permit records show each permit as legacy closed, closed, expired, issued or voided. Some permits are listed twice; the lookup counts each permit number once.
An expired permit can mean the work was not completed or not inspected. Ask the seller for the final inspection, or for the permit to be closed before closing.
Buying in Provo
A HeritageDeed report puts these permits in one PDF with the owner of record, the Recorder's deeds, trust deeds and reconveyances, delinquent taxes, federal court cases, the flood zone and nearby EPA-listed sites. Where the records are kept and what the report searches: Utah County title search and property records.
Questions
How do I look up building permits for a Provo address?
Enter the street address in the lookup above. It finds the property's Utah County parcel, then lists the permits the city filed for every address on that parcel (an apartment building has one per unit): how many are issued, closed, expired or voided, newest first.
Why does the lookup say the parcel could not be matched?
The city's records can lag a parcel split or renumbering. When the city has no address on the county parcel, the lookup says so instead of reporting no permits; ask Provo Development Services for the permit history.
Does it show code violations?
No. Provo City does not publish its code enforcement cases, so violations are not searched.
What does "Legacy Closed" mean?
It is the status the city gives older permits carried over from its previous system. Many of them have no real application date, which the lookup leaves blank.
What else is in the full report?
A HeritageDeed report for a Utah County address adds the owner of record, the Recorder's abstract of deeds, trust deeds and reconveyances, delinquent property taxes, federal court cases, the flood zone and nearby EPA-listed sites, with the Provo permits above in one PDF.
Official public records; statuses can lag inspections. Not legal advice.
