See any Austin home's permit history before you make an offer.
Landset cross-references the property's permit record with hundreds of nearby homes to flag the expensive problems buyers miss.
What's in the report
and why it matters.
Permit records, code violations, and tax history are spread across three different City of Austin systems. Landset pulls them together into one brief so you walk into a showing knowing what to ask.
Historical permits
Every permit on file for the address: building, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, additions, pools. If the City has it, it's in the report.
Neighborhood context
See what work the neighbors have permitted within a half-mile. If 40 houses nearby replaced their drain lines and yours didn't, that tells you something.
Pre-purchase intel
Permits pulled, permits finaled, permits that never closed. We flag where the records go quiet so you know where to look harder - before you sign.
Inside a Landset brief.
Every report follows the same seven-section format. Each section pulls from public records and tells you what to pay attention to before closing.
Findings worth flagging.
Permit-based issues rated HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW - what to raise with the seller, what to send your inspector.
The full official record.
Every permit on file at the address, grouped by trade: building, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, driveway.
Complaints & violations.
Open code cases require resolution before closing. Closed cases give you context on the property's history.
What neighbors permitted.
What kind of work is happening on surrounding blocks? If something is common nearby but missing from your property, that's worth knowing.
What's achievable here.
What additions and improvements have been approved on similar properties nearby. Helpful if you're thinking about building out.
Flood zones, MUDs, WCIDs.
FEMA flood zone designation, special taxing districts, and bond obligations buyers inherit.
Valuation history.
Official TCAD appraisal data including current market value, historical valuations, land and improvement values, and year-over-year growth trends.

Everything agents ask before running their first report.
Does this replace a home inspection?
No. Landset is a research tool you use before the inspection, not a replacement for one. It helps you show up with better questions, not skip the inspector.
Where does the data come from?
City of Austin public permit records, City of Austin code enforcement records, and Travis Central Appraisal District (TCAD) property tax and valuation data. The findings in the Landset Lens section come from cross-referencing your property against neighborhood permit patterns.
How fast do I get the report?
Reports are delivered as a PDF to your inbox within minutes of submitting an address.
What if a property has unpermitted work?
Unpermitted work won't show up in permit records. That's why we compare your property against what the neighbors have permitted. If 30 houses on your block pulled permits for drain line work and yours has no record of it, that's worth mentioning to your inspector.
Is Landset only for Austin?
Yes, currently. Landset is built on City of Austin and TCAD public records and covers Austin-area properties.
What does it cost?
$49.99 per report, and your first report is 50% off at $24.99. No subscription and no account required — you pay per property, once. Running several a month? Email us about volume pricing.
What if my property comes back clean?
Plenty do, and that is a useful answer — you get the full permit, violation and tax record showing nothing outstanding, which is exactly what you want before making an offer. If the report isn't useful to you, our money-back guarantee covers it.
Can I run reports for my clients regularly?
Yes. Landset is built for agents who want to run a property brief on every property their clients are seriously considering. Your first report is $24.99 - 50% off the standard price.
