EDR BUILDING PERMIT REPORT
About This Report
The EDR Building Permit Report provides a practical and efficient method to search building department records
for indications of environmental conditions. Generated via a search of municipal building permit records gathered
from more than 1,600 cities nationwide, this report will assist you in meeting the search requirements of EPA's
Standards and Practices for All Appropriate Inquiries (40 CFR Part 312), the ASTM Standard Practice for
Environmental Site Assessments (E 1527-13), or custom requirements developed for the evaluation of
environmental risk associated with a parcel of real estate.
Building permit data can be used to identify current and/or former operations and structures/features of
environmental concern. The data can provide information on a target property and adjoining properties such as the
presence of underground storage tanks, pump islands, sumps, drywells, etc., as well as information regarding
water, sewer, natural gas, electrical connection dates, and current/former septic tanks.
ASTM and EPA Requirements
ASTM E 1527-13 lists building department records as a "standard historical source," as detailed in § 8.3.4.7:
"Building Department Records - The term building department records means those records of the local
government in which the property is located indicating permission of the local government to construct, alter, or
demolish improvements on the property." ASTM also states that "Uses in the area surrounding the property shall
be identified in the report, but this task is required only to the extent that this information is revealed in the course of
researching the property itself."
EPA's Standards and Practices for All Appropriate Inquires (AAI) states: "§312.24: Reviews of historical sources of
information. (a) Historical documents and records must be reviewed for the purposes of achieving the objectives
and performance factors of §312.20(e) and (f). Historical documents and records may include, but are not limited
to, aerial photographs, fire insurance maps, building department records, chain of title documents, and land use
records."
Methodology
EDR has developed the EDR Building Permit Report through our partnership with BuildFax, the nation's largest
repository of building department records. BuildFax collects, updates, and manages building department records
from local municipal governments. The database now includes 30 million permits, on more than 10 million
properties across 1,600 cities in the United States.
The EDR Building Permit Report comprises local municipal building permit records, gathered directly from local
jurisdictions, including both target property and adjoining properties. Years of coverage vary by municipality. Data
reported includes (where available): date of permit, permit type, permit number, status, valuation, contractor
company, contractor name, and description.
Incoming permit data is checked at seven stages in a regimented quality control process, from initial data source
interview, to data preparation, through final auditing. To ensure the building department is accurate, each of the
seven quality control stages contains, on average, 15 additional quality checks, resulting in a process of
approximately 105 quality control "touch points."

GLOSSARY
General Building Department concepts
■ ICC: The International Code Council. The governing body for the building/development codes used by all
jurisdictions who've adopted the ICC guidelines. MOST of the US has done this. Canada, Mexico, and other
countries use ICC codes books and guides as well. There are a few states who have added guidelines to the
ICC codes to better fit their needs. For example, California has added seismic retrofit requirements for most
commercial structures.
■ Building Department (Permitting Authority, Building Codes, Inspections Department, Building and
Inspections): This is the department in a jurisdiction where an owner or contractor goes to obtain permits
and inspections for building, tearing down, remodeling, adding to, re -roofing, moving or otherwise making
changes to any structure, Residential or Commercial.
• Jurisdiction: This is the geographic area representing the properties over which a Permitting Authority has
responsibility.
■ GC: General Contractor. Usually the primary contractor hired for any Residential or Commercial construction
work.
• Sub: Subordinate contracting companies or subcontractors. Usually a "trades" contractor working for the GC.
These contractors generally have an area of expertise in which they are licensed like Plumbing, Electrical,
Heating and Air systems, Gas Systems, Pools etc. (called "trades").
■ Journeymen: Sub contractors who have their own personal licenses in one or more trades and work for
different contracting companies, wherever they are needed or there is work.
■ HVAC (Mechanical, Heating & Air companies): HVAC = Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning.
■ ELEC (Electrical, TempPole, TPole, TPower, Temporary Power, Panel, AMP Change, Power Release):
Electrical permits can be pulled for many reasons. The most common reason is to increase the AMPs of
power in an electrical power panel. This requires a permit in almost every jurisdiction. Other commons
reason for Electrical permits is to insert a temporary power pole at a new construction site. Construction
requires electricity, and in a new development, power has yet to be run to the lot. The temporary power pole
is usually the very first permit pulled for new development. The power is released to the home owner when
construction is complete and this sometimes takes the form of a Power Release permit or inspection.
■ "Pull" a permit: To obtain and pay for a building permit.
■ CBO: Chief Building Official
• Planning Department: The department in the development process where the building /structural plans are
reviewed for their completeness and compliance with building codes
■ Zoning Department: The department in the development process where the site plans are reviewed for their
compliance with the regulations associated with the zoning district in which they are situated.
• Zoning District: A pre -determined geographic boundary within a jurisdiction where certain types of
structures are permitted / prohibited. Examples are Residential structure, Commercial/Retail structures,
Industrial/Manufacturing structures etc. Each zoning district has regulations associated with it like the sizes
of the lots, the density of the structures on the lots, the number of parking spaces required for certain types
of structures on the lots etc.
■ PIN (TMS, GIS ID, Parcel#): Property Identification Number and Tax Map System number.
■ State Card (Business license): A license card issued to a contractor to conduct business.
• Building Inspector (Inspector): The inspector is a building department employee that inspects building
construction for compliance to codes.
• C.O.: Certificate of Occupancy. This is the end of the construction process and designates that the owners
now have permission to occupy a structure after its building is complete. Sometimes also referred to as a
Certificate of Compliance.

GLOSSARY
Permit Content Definitions
■ Permit Number: The alphanumerical designation assigned to a permit for tracking within the building
department system. Sometimes the permit number gives clues to its role, e.g. a "PL" prefix may designate a
plumbing permit.
■ Description: A field on the permit form that allows the building department to give a brief description of the
work being done. More often than not, this is the most important field for EP's to find clues to the prior use(s)
of the property.
■ Permit Type: Generally a brief designation of the type of job being done. For example BLDG -RES, BLDG -
COM, ELEC, MECH etc.
