How it works

An address in.
A briefing out.

Briefs are generated from the City of Austin open-records system. We compile, cross-reference and rate the findings — you read the report and ask better questions.

Step 01

Enter an address.

Paste any Austin street address. We pull the full permit record from the City's open dataset.

Step 02

We rate the findings.

We cross-reference your property's permit record against hundreds of nearby properties. Expired permits, unpermitted patterns, and neighborhood gaps get flagged CRITICAL, MEDIUM, or LOW — so you know exactly what to raise with your inspector, your client, or the seller.

Step 03

Read the brief.

A succinct and actionable PDF in your inbox — ready to send your client, your inspector, or your title officer.

Common Questions

Frequently asked
questions.

Everything agents ask before running their first report.

Does this replace a home inspection?

No. Landset is a pre-inspection research layer, not a substitute for a licensed inspector. Use it to sharpen the questions you bring to inspection, not to skip one.

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 insights within Landset Lens come from our proprietary intelligence layer and machine-learning modeling.

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 appear in permit records — that's exactly why we cross-reference your property against nearby permit patterns. If neighbors routinely permit a type of work and your subject property has no record of it, that's a due-diligence signal worth flagging 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.

Can I run reports for my clients regularly?

Yes. Landset is built for agents who want to run a permit briefing on every property their clients are seriously considering. Your first report is $24.99 — 50% off the standard price.
